traffic safety in focus: tuning controls in Sankt Augustin

Sankt Augustin - In the recently carried out traffic controls in Sankt Augustin, great attention was paid to highly motorized vehicles. These controls organized by the police of the guards in Hennef, Eitorf, Troisdorf and Sankt Augustin as well as the traffic service of the Rhein-Sieg district, aim to increase traffic safety and minimize accidents through illegal vehicle changes.

Why these controls are important

The problem of illegal vehicle tuning is an important problem in road traffic. Technically changed vehicles can burden the streets in a safety -relevant manner and are a risk for all road users. The controls are a step towards prevention to counteract the increase in traffic crimes and administrative offenses.

Details of control

Last weekend, around 130 vehicles and their occupants were checked at various checkpoints in Sankt Augustin. In order to determine abnormalities, a mobile decibel sound level meter was used, which is used to measure the volume of vehicles. A total of around 25 traffic violations were discovered during these controls, which were punished with warnings and administrative offenses.

consequences for the drivers

In seven cases, the vehicle's operating license was declared for expired, which meant that the drivers were prohibited from continuing. The behavior of a driver who planned despite such a prohibition was particularly worrying with his vehicle. This case led to ensuring the vehicle by the police officers to avert possible dangers.

outlook for future controls

The organizers of the controls expressed a positive statement about the cooperation of the various police stations and announced that they are planning further special control days on the subject of tuning. The focus should be on the exchange of knowledge between the guards and the traffic service to sustainably improve traffic safety.
