Shocking defects in Advent buses: Police pulls 24 license plates!

Graz, Österreich - In Styria, the current weeks of Advent are all about increased traffic controls by the police.

According to meinzirk.at , ads against buses were issued in the first two weeks of December, 134 due to serious technical defects. The acceptance of 24 license plates was alarming due to "danger in delay". Defective brakes, rusted body and oil loss were common problems that were found during the controls. The police also imposed fines of almost 29,000 euros, with many of these funds being achieved by foreign vehicle owners.

Alcohol and speed controls were also carried out nationwide. In a comprehensive campaign, the police checked over 1,600 road users, which led to over 1,100 complaints, mainly due to overruns. In addition, 21 drivers with alcohol at the wheel had to cancel their journey, with the driver's license withdrawn in ten cases, as steiermark.Ork.at .
