When planning your weekend trip please take appropriate precautions, especially if traveling in the larger metropolitan areas in Germany. In recent weeks, Germany has experienced significant political demonstrations, particularly in response to proposed immigration policies and collaborations with far-right parties. These events have drawn large crowds and have been marked by heightened tensions. While specific details about future protests are limited, the current political climate suggests that additional demonstrations may occur as the national election approaches on February 23, 2025. These events can arise spontaneously and may not always be publicly announced in advance.

Recommendations:

· Keep a low profile.

· Exercise caution if unexpectedly in the vicinity of large gatherings or protests.

· Be aware of your surroundings.

· Monitor local media for updates.

· Enroll in the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) to receive alerts.

This research study is about regulating mood and sleep with morning light exposure.

The purpose of this Human Research study is to examine whether morning light exposure using light emitting glasses can improve mood through circadian rhythm realignment. Information gained from this study will support the relationship between the effects of light exposure on circadian rhythms and treating the symptoms that result from circadian misalignment. Results from this study will be used to address the pervasive issue of sleep disruption and circadian misalignment and potentially improve the quality of life for members of the military. This information could be generalized to populations that deal with circadian misalignment like night-shift workers, as well as provide overall insight to other symptoms of low light exposure in the general population such as Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD).

The recommended time frame to have winter tires installed on your POV is October through April. Additionally, starting in October of this year, a new regulation on the labeling of winter tires will come into effect. From October 1, 2024, only tires with the "Alpine symbol" may be used (see picture attached). The "Alpine Symbol" consists of a snowflake and a mountain. All-season tires can also have this symbol and can therefore be used in winter conditions.

POV’s will not fail inspections if they do not have the “3-peak Alpine” symbol while there are no official winter weather conditions in effect. While the law does not mandate calendar dates during which snow tires are required, it is recommended to have snow tires mounted from early October until early April. Under the new rules, fines have been doubled. Drivers caught using summer tires in winter conditions and drivers who cause an accident or obstruct traffic because they use inappropriate tires during winter conditions will be fined by German authorities. In addition, insurance companies may deny coverage to motorists driving with summer tires on wintery roads. Drivers who are unsure about winter-tire requirements can contact their local vehicle-registration or safety office.

During winter road conditions it will be MANDATORY to have the “3-peak Alpine” symbol to be able drive around the community and to be able to pass POV inspections. The M + S symbol alone, will not be acceptable for winter road conditions.

On March 10, 2017, the Federal Council approved a regulation by the Federal Ministry of Transport, according to which vehicle owners can now also be fined if drivers were driving their cars without winter tires. The fine for owners costs 75 euros. In addition, there is the risk of a point on your license.

It is currently required that drivers must drive on ice, snow or slippery roads with tires that have an "M+S marking". However, what "mud and snow" (M+S) means has not yet been clearly defined.

A new regulation on the labeling of winter tires will therefore come into force in 2024. From October 1, 2024, only tires with the "Alpine symbol" may be used.

The "Alpine Symbol" consists of a snowflake and a mountain. All-season tires can also have this symbol and can therefore be used in winter conditions.

New winter tires are already marked with the "Alpine Symbol". Tires that still have the M+S marking and were purchased before December 2017 can still be driven until September 30, 2024.

In Germany, a so-called situational winter tire requirement applies. As soon as winter road conditions prevail, a vehicle may only be driven on public roads with winter tires. If this is not the case and the driver is caught driving with summer tires in winter, the following sanctions are threatened:

driving without winter tires: 60 euros fine, 1 point in Flensburg

endangering other road users: 100 euros fine, 1 point in Flensburg

obstructing other road users: 80 euros fine, 1 point in Flensburg.

If you have any questions or concerns, please e-mail the POV Org box: 86vrs.pov.inspection@us.af.mil
