Truck driver stopped in Kuchl after 20 days of long-term trip!

In a dramatic incident on the Tauern Autobahn (A10) at Kuchl, a 45-year-old Italian truck driver was stopped by the police after he was on the road almost continuously for 20 days. On December 21, a police patrol noticed that the driver had difficulty keeping his trail and repeatedly draining the breakdown strips. During the control it turned out that the man had been driving without reasonable breaks for some time, which endangered not only his security, but also the safety of other road users, such as Meinzirk.at reported.

An alkotest resulted in a negative finding, but the reviews showed serious violations of the steering and rest periods. In addition, the truck was overloaded by more than 1.3 tons and the driver did not have the required winter equipment for Austria. This not only violates the traffic rules, but also represents a significant security risk. The police prohibited the driver on the driver and initiated legal steps, since it was displayed both at the Salzburg public prosecutor and the Hallein district administration, as well as Salzburg24 reported.
