Dangerous freight traffic: Police reveals alarming defects!

Heidekreis, Deutschland - Heidekreis (ots)

The police are alarm! Terrifying security deficiencies were uncovered in intensive controls of commercial freight traffic in the Heidekreis! Under the direction of the Bad Fallingbostel police commissioner, the officials from Autobahn 7 in Evendorf to Berkhof and the A27 from the triangle Walsrode West were deployed. It was a week full of rigorous checks that not only revealed the hustle and bustle of the transport, but also the alarming conditions of the vehicles on the streets.

A total of 148 trucks were checked, and the result is puzzled: In breathtaking 89 cases, the police documented security -relevant violations! Vehicles that were anything but roadworthy and a real excess of approved transport practices made it clear how serious the situation is. The combination of cost and time pressure takes on dangerous dimensions that are unforeseeable risks in road traffic.

The condition of the vehicles is often catastrophic - worn tires, poor maintenance and technical defects are not uncommon. But that's not all: the drivers often did not meet the prescribed steering and rest times. Instead of security, time savings are relyed here, which leads to inadequately secure chargers and starts the consequence of unnecessary danger chains. "The high complaint rate has again shown that further controls will continue to be essential in the future!" Explained a concerned police chief commissioner Arne Röhrs.

The message is clear: security cannot go at the expense of the economic profit! The police will continue to look rigorously and vehemently put the regulations on the center of their missions.
