important traffic control on the tank and rest area Waldmohr

BAB 6; Waldmohr (ots)

The motorway police carried out a comprehensive control of the holiday travel traffic at the Waldmohr tank and rest area last Saturday. This special campaign, supported by the experts from the heavy traffic control team of the central transport services, aimed in particular on caravan teams and motorhomes. The control should above all be preventive and the drivers should draw attention to possible dangers by overloading and lack of load securing.

positive response to travelers

The controls carried out met with consistently positive feedback on the part of the travelers. A total of 41 vehicles were subjected to a precise check. An additional focus was on safety -related technical facilities such as the age of the tires and the brake system. The officials emphasized how important it is to pay attention to traffic safety, especially during the holiday season and, if necessary, take measures in good time.

peculiarities of control

A striking incident occurred during these controls when the police met a driver of a motorhome who was traveling with a breath alcohol value of 0.6 per thousand. This value is already in the area of negligence, which also results in considerable legal consequences. During the further review, it turned out that the driver no longer had a valid driver's license since 2015, which also made his offense more difficult.

episodes for the driver

The determination of a striking alcohol content led to the driver to end his trip on vacation immediately. Instead of the hoped-for free time, a criminal and fine procedure is now imminent, which will result in both financially and legally considerable consequences for him.

an example of traffic safety

These controls at the Waldmohr tank and rest area are an important example of how the authorities want to increase traffic safety during the travel wave in summer. The focus on the information about the dangers of overloading and the need for proper load securing shows how important it is to act responsibly even in stressful situations such as traveling.
