Trucks with serious defects in Mettmann pulled out of traffic!

Düsseldorfer Straße / Südring, 40822 Mettmann, Deutschland - Mettmann, November 18, 2024 - a dramatic incident occurred this morning when the traffic service of the district police authority Mettmann pulled a truck with Lithuanian license plates on Düsseldorfer Strasse / Südring. The 26-year-old Volvo truck showed serious technical defects that made immediate measures necessary. During the control at 9:20 a.m., the officers discovered a massive oil leak out of the engine and gearbox as well as numerous rust offices on the body. A nightmare for every driver!

The situation escalated when the truck was brought to an expert in Ratingen for a precise examination. There it turned out that the vehicle's brake system was in a catastrophic condition. The brake drum had partially broken out on the rear axle and had wedged - a dangerous condition that classified the vehicle as non -traffic -safe. The consequence? Immediate expiry of the operating license! The police had the marks of the truck secured and initiated criminal proceedings against the driver.

The 51-year-old driver, a Belarusian citizen, had to deposit a security deposit of several hundred euros on site, as he lacked a German residence. Another proof that the streets must be safe not only for the vehicles, but also for the drivers! With this commitment, the Mettmann police show that it is rigorous against insecure vehicles and sets the safety in road traffic in the first place.
