Serious blow to traffic offenders: Police uncover 52 violations!

In the early morning of October 28, 2025, an extensive inspection of small vans took place at the logistics location in Niederaula, East Hesse. The East Hesse police and customs teamed up to increase traffic safety and review the regulations in commercial freight transport. A total of 64 small vans, which had a permissible gross vehicle weight of up to 3.5 tonnes, were subjected to a detailed inspection.

The result of this measure was anything but positive. The authorities managed to identify a whopping 52 violations of driving law, particularly with regard to driving and rest times. There was also one driver who violated the cabotage regulations and two vehicles where there were complaints regarding the securing of the load. It was even worse for two sprinters who were banned from driving due to technical defects - including badly worn tires.

Shocking discoveries and security measures

A disturbing case emerged of a driver suspected of driving a vehicle under the influence of narcotics. A blood sample was ordered. The investigation based on a telescopic baton being found in another driver's vehicle is no less explosive given the laws regarding the transport of weapons.

In addition, customs discovered more than a dozen violations of the obligation to report to the German pension insurance company. Frequent reports of suspected non-compliance with the minimum wage clearly show that considerable scope for improvement is necessary. The authorities have already announced that further measures to increase road safety are planned.

Road safety in focus

The massive control shines a bright light on the current conditions in the courier and express delivery sector. The findings highlight the need for a stricter approach to traffic regulations. At a time when safety on the roads is of utmost importance, the police appeal to all those responsible to take their regulations seriously and assume their responsibilities.

As elsewhere, you can see here that reliability in traffic is the be-all and end-all. Such checks are not just a tedious chore, but they contribute significantly to the safety of all road users. Whether in the commercial or private sector, there is much work to be done.
