Police announced hard controls to the Tuning World Bodensee!

Friedrichshafen, Deutschland - From 1st to 4th May the Tuning World Lake Constance takes place in Friedrichshafen. Numerous visitors from Vorarlberg and other regions are expected for this event. The Ravensburg police have announced that they are increasing controls to counteract the problem of illegal tuning. Details on the control locations and times are not announced in advance for tactical reasons. Nevertheless, it can be expected that there will be both stationary and mobile controls.

A focus of the police will be on the review of technical changes in vehicles. In addition to increases in performance, this also includes acoustic and optical changes in the vehicles. In addition, the drivers are controlled. The police will in particular prevent aggressive driving behavior and other violations such as howling the engine and illegal races.

Details about the police controls

The controls on the occasion of the Tuning World Lake Constance are part of a more comprehensive strategy to increase safety in road traffic. In the past, especially during similar events, there were often problems with illegal conversions. Last year, for example, almost every 13th vehicle in Baden-Württemberg was found, which led to about 1,000 prohibitions of the onward journey. The police will therefore also rely on cross -border cooperation with specialized units from other federal states and neighboring countries. Support is also expected by emergency services from Vorarlberg.

The past controls around similar events have already shown high figures on identified violations. With over 450 controlled vehicles, 170 illegal conversions alone were found, 33 vehicles were confiscated and 18 driving bans against drivers were enacted. In addition, more than 740 violations were registered due to increased speed and non -compliance with the minimum distance, which underlines the need for such comprehensive controls.

legal situation and responsible handling of tuning

Many drivers of tuned vehicles have concerns about police controls, but they are often unfounded. The authorities have nothing against rules that are compliant with the rules with allowed accessories. It is important to emphasize that the control rate of modified vehicles is not statistically above the overall average. Numerous aspects are checked for traffic controls, including driving and vehicle registration as well as the general traffic safety of the vehicle.

Special attention to the admissibility of technical changes, such as the use of special vehicles, ground clearance, cycling combinations and exhaust systems. In order to avoid fines, drivers should always carry the corresponding documents, such as ABE and EC permits. Responsible handling and compliance with the regulations are often superfluous.

The police appeal to all visitors to the Tuning World Lake Constance to check their vehicles in advance for the applicable regulations in order to ensure traffic safety. In view of the upcoming controls, it is advisable to adhere to the rules and thus avoid unpleasant surprises.
