The protection of traffic safety is a central task of the police, which not only has to take a look at the drivers, but also the vehicle owners. A current incident from Nörten-Hardenberg throws a light on the importance of legal responsibility in road traffic.

an incident on Sunday in Nörten-Hardenberg

On Sunday, July 21, 2024, at 12:26 p.m., the Northeim police became aware of a 40-year-old man from Hamburg. He was discovered during a traffic control when he drove in his car in Lange Strasse in Nörten-Hardenberg. It was striking that he was traveling at a much slow pace, which caused the officials to take a closer look.

legal situation: driving without a license

The subsequent control brought to light that the man could not show a driver's license. A review in the police information systems confirmed that he was in no valid driving license. This is a serious offense, since driving without the necessary permission not only endangers its own security, but also that other road users.

The role of the vehicle owner

particularly interesting is the fact that the owner of the vehicle, who was in the car at the time of control, also tolerated driving. This tolerance is also a legal violation, since the owner is responsible for using your vehicle and must ensure that the driver is in possession of a valid driver's license.

conclusion: Community responsibility in road traffic

The incident in Nörten-Hardenberg illustrates the common responsibility of drivers and holders in the light of traffic safety. It is essential that vehicle owners take their legal obligations seriously and ensure that only people with the necessary knowledge and permits sit behind the wheel. This is not only a legal necessity, but also an important step to protect all road users.
