Tuning fans in sight: Speed Cops fight against racers and chaos!

On the first weekend in June, around 400 tuning fans gather in Gollhofen. This event is accompanied by the "Speed Cops", which specialize in checking the souped -up vehicles. The police thus ensure security and compliance with the legal provisions in the tuning area.

in Offenbach, there was a discussion of a racer during a new incident that refuses to see the speed crossing. The racer gets into a heated dispute with the law enforcement officers, which further heats up the already tense atmosphere. In Hamburg, on the other hand, two officials secure a Jaguar, while a quiet alarm is triggered in a nearby bank branch, which underlines the safety event in the region, such as TV-Movie reported.

tuning initiative and security campaigns

The initiative "Tune it! Safe!", Which was launched a decades and a half ago, aims at clarifying dubious tuning offers. This campaign was originally symbolized in 2005 by presenting a technically refined police vehicle, which was designed in the striking coloring silver-green. A Techart-Porsche GT is currently being used as a campaign vehicle to make the support of police and test organizations visible to responsible tuning, as GTÜ reports.

The aim of this educational work is to take action nationwide against inadmissible and uncertain tuning. In the tuning market, both responsible companies and providers of inferior or illegal products exist. The GTÜ (Society for Technical Monitoring) plays an important role in this initiative and offers extensive services related to tuning. Robert Köstler, spokesman for the management of the GTÜ, has emphasized the importance of safe tuning for traffic safety. The current Techart-Porsche was checked in detail by a GTÜ test engineer and found to be safe. The vehicle has an output of 385 hp (283 kW) and achieves an acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.4 seconds. When taking the vehicle was also taken into account for various safety-relevant components, including sports springs replacement and special ultra performance tires.
