Fine for truck drivers: dangerous goods not properly secured on the A6!
On Tuesday, June 17th, an incident occurred on the A6 between Nuremberg and Heilbronn that not only attracted the attention of the traffic police, but also led to significant financial consequences for the driver of a semi-trailer truck. According to a report by nn.de The 43-year-old truck driver was noticed by the Ansbach traffic police station because he did not maintain the required minimum distance from a truck in front. This happened during a regular distance measurement by the police.
During the inspection, which took place around 11:30 a.m., it emerged that the driver had even more problems: the dangerous goods he was transporting - corrosive liquid in 1000 liter tanks - was not adequately secured. Due to these serious defects, the driver was prohibited from continuing his journey until the tanks were properly secured. He also had to pay a security deposit. The owner of the vehicle also faces significant fines.
Distance measurements are important

If the minimum distance is not met, fines of up to 400 euros can be imposed, which can also be accompanied by points in Flensburg and a possible driving ban. During the inspection of the tractor-trailer, there was a clear violation of these requirements, which only increased the penalties for the driver.
