List of defects on the truck: Driver must now dig deep into the pocket!

Darmstadt-Dieburg, Deutschland - wrapped in fog and hustle and bustle, the B26 in Roßdorf on December 12th was the scene of a remarkable police check. A truck that was loaded with a wheel loader caught a patrol. What the officials discovered was shocking: numerous technical defects that resulted in an immediate termination of the trip. The examination revealed deep cracks and a retracted nail in the tire, while an unsecured shovel on the loading area further tightens the safety risk. The police found that the truck tires were no longer suitable for driving and the rear lights were badly damaged, as the Gießener reported.

Significant defects and impending punishments

The driver of the truck must now adapt to high fines that add up to several hundred euros. In addition, points in Flensburg are credited to him, which further tightens the situation. Such controls are not uncommon in southern Hesse, since trucks are repeatedly found with such significant defects on the streets. A similar incident occurred in September when a truck was stopped on site due to overweight.

The control on the B26 could not only show a refusal to individual, but also serve as a dunning finger for all truck drivers, to adhere to the strict safety regulations and always pay attention to the traffic suitability of their vehicles.
