During his time in office, he investigated the German-based perpetrators of the September 11 attacks.[2]

Since 2014, Nehm has been serving as president of the Deutscher Verkehrsgerichtstag. In 2016, he was appointed by Federal Minister of Transport and Digital Infrastructure Alexander Dobrindt to serve on the German government’s Ethics Commission on Autonomous Driving.[3]
