Police stops tuning sinner: 16 license plates moved into Upper Austria!

Bezirk Rohrbach, Österreich - On June 28, 2025, the state transport department of Upper Austria, together with the district police commands Rohrbach and Urfahr-Umgebung as well as punitive officers, carried out a large-scale check in the Rohrbach and Urfahr-Umgebung district. The focus controls aimed at illegal tuning, technical defects and speed overruns. A total of 52 vehicles were checked, 34 of which were subjected to a technical review by experts. There were alarming results.

During the controls, 155 advertisements were reimbursed for technical defects, and a total of 16 license plates were removed because these vehicles were classified as dangerous. The police issued criminal complaints of 16,000 euros. The controls organized by the 5min.at are intended to increase traffic safety. The noise level and the speed overrun were also the focus of the officials.

high speeds and behavioral behavior

A total of 4,536 vehicles were checked for speed overalls. There were 147 handlebars that drove too quickly. The extreme peak value was 159 km/h, whereby the top speed at the relevant area was only 100 km/h. These striking speed violations throw a light on the problem of traffic safety in the region.

The controls show that awareness of the dangers of exaggerated tuning and the speed overrun must still be improved. According to the [meinbezirk.at] (https://www.meinbezirk.at/rohrbach/c-lokales/155-weben-mit-strafen-von-ins total-16000-euro_a7416116), the problems are particularly observed for vehicles and have illegal modifications.

legal limits in tuning

The topic of tuning is particularly present today, but not all measures are legally harmless. Legal foundations that are often misunderstood can lead to serious problems, including the expiry of the operating license or fines. Changes that influence the traffic safety or environmental properties of a vehicle must be accurate with the provisions of the Road Traffic Registration Code (STVZO) and the Motor Transport Act in order to avoid legal risks, as on [Rechtsanwalt-bongard.de] (https://www.rechtsanwalt-bongard.de/rechtstipps/tuning-und-umbauten-am-fahrzeug-lechtliche-benzen-und-benzen- und-

registration -free changes, such as optical adjustments or the attachment of stickers, are allowed, while cumbersome entries are required for safety -related modifications such as chassis changes or engine tuning. If such changes are made without permission, this can have serious consequences and endanger insurance coverage.

The controls of June 28 illustrate how important it is to observe the legal requirements in order to ensure safety in road traffic. The planned regular checks are intended to help reduce violations of these regulations and thus to minimize the risk for all road users.
