Awake Goy “The rule of law requires that only drivers can be held accountable. That presumes that they can be identified,” the German Transport Ministry said, as cited by Deutsche Welle.
The new rules, which were approved on Friday, apply to any facial covering such as masks and hoods which might impair driver vision.
Anyone caught partially or fully covering their face while driving will receive a fine of €60 ($72).
Although the law explicitly allows for religious headscarves to be worn, the move has been interpreted as symbolic discrimination by some.
“Proof of this is the fact that laws are being passed in areas that don’t need to [be] regulated,” said Deputy Council Chairman Nurhan Soykan, according to the magazine Focus. “We know of no case in which a burqa or niqab wearer caused an accident that can be linked to wearing a full-body veil.”
In February, the state of Bavaria proposed banning burqas in schools, universities, polling stations, and government offices.
Similar measures across Europe have sparked outrage in recent months.
