210 truck drivers ignore overtaking on Autobahn 1 in Bremen!

On Monday, April 28th, the Bremen police made a targeted control at Bundesautobahn 1 in Hemelingen and covered incredible 210 violations of the overtaking ban for trucks over 7.5 tons - and only 54 minutes! The action had become necessary after there were repeated dangerous situations in road traffic. Many truck drivers ignored the ban, some even on the left lane, where overtaking is strictly prohibited for these vehicles.

The police emphasize the urgency of this measure: Such violations not only endanger the security of all road users, but can also significantly hinder rescue operations in an emergency. "The ban on overtaking protects all of our lives!" Said a spokesman for the police. With such controls, one wants to counteract the danger on the street.
