Large control in Hamburg: truck drivers in the sight of the police!

On Monday morning, the Hamburg police moved to a comprehensive control campaign on Autobahn 1 in Hamburg-Neuland, near the Rasthof Stillhorn-Ost, all the registers. Under the leadership of the South Traffic Directorate, over 110 civil servants became active to punish violations of the distance requirement and ban on overtaking in heavy goods traffic. The measures were supported by other specialist authorities, because disregard for these regulations increases the risk of accidents dramatically for truck drivers and all other road users.

43 vehicles were checked during the check, with eight drivers being temporarily occupied by driving bans. The balance sheet is alarming: a total of 30 drivers were violated due to overtaking, further violations included improper load securing and overload. Particularly scandalous-a Dutch truck driver transported construction car transported without any fuses, which resulted in an immediate ban on driving. Another driver, 35 years old, was stopped with over a thousand hidden cigarettes, which led to a tax evasion procedure. The Hamburg police announced that he will continue to carry out strict controls in heavy -wing traffic in the future to increase security on the streets.
