Shocking control: truck overloaded by 10 tons in Borken!

Südlohn, Deutschland - A dramatic control day in the Borken district! The district police authority Borken took part in the cross -border "Roadpol" campaign, which concentrated on "Truck and Bus" this week. On Tuesday afternoon, on Bundesstraße 525 in Südlohn, numerous traffic controls were carried out, supported by officials from the main customs office in Münster. The police had the northern feeder locked to Landesstraße 572 to ensure security in commercial and freight transport.

The results of the controls are alarming! A total of 8 trucks and 40 cars were checked. A structure was particularly striking, which weighed with 50 tons instead of the permitted 40 tons. A Dutch driver of a semitrailer could not show the necessary professional driver qualification. Another Dutch car had serious technical defects on the brake system, which led to the immediate prohibition of the onward journey. The police found a total of several administrative offenses, including three due to technical defects and three due to overload. Violations of social regulations were also punished.

shocking statistics and consequences

The officers granted the warning funds due to poor securing the loads and social regulations. In four cases, security benefits had to be collected because the drivers live in neighboring countries. Ten drivers were prohibited from continuing, which underlines the seriousness of the controls. These measures are crucial to increase security on the streets and to minimize potential dangers from overloaded and technically deficient vehicles. The control ended at 6:00 p.m., but the effects will be noticeable for a long time.
