Dramatic traffic controls: Police catch overloaded truck in Südlohn!

Südlohn, Deutschland - Kreis Borken (ots)

An exciting control day in the Borken district! In the cross -border "Roadpol" campaign, which this time focused on "Truck and Bus", the traffic service officials started moving all levers to ensure safety on the streets. On Tuesday afternoon, federal road 525 in Südlohn became the stronghold of traffic controls, supported by the main customs office in Münster, which actively participated in the repression against traffic offenders.

large fan community for controls!

The intensive controls! Complete blocking of the northern feeder to Landesstraße 572! It said for truck and car drivers: "Attention, control!" In an impressive balance sheet, a total of 8 trucks and 40 cars were examined more closely. An outstanding representative of this inspection was a structure that weighed, according to weighing, fabulous 50 t - that is 10 t more than approved! But it was not only overloading that a Dutch tractor driver did not have the necessary professional driver qualification, while another driver with technical defects on his vehicle - specifically on the rear brake system - was forced to reverse.

exciting results in the controls!

The efforts of the police bore fruit: In several cases, administrative offenses were found due to technical defects, overloading and disregard for social regulations. The police exhibited three administrative offenses due to technical defects, three due to overloading, and the lack of qualification due to the lack of professional driver qualification. There were also two fines due to social regulations and one because of inadequate load securing. The onward journey was prohibited from four drivers and security benefits were collected because they had their place of residence abroad. These impressive numbers impressively demonstrate the success of the control campaigns! The control ended at 6:00 p.m. - but traffic safety remains a burning topic!
