Shocking truck checks: danger to life through insecure loads!

Shocking truck checks: danger to life through insecure loads!

In a large-scale control of commercial traffic in the Rhein-Sieg district, the police have uncovered alarming violations of the load securing! Two truck drivers had to stop due to insufficient load securing, which had immediate consequences. During the inspections it was found that the drivers did not transport their freight safely enough. They immediately received administrative offenses and had to secure their loads with additional lashing straps before they were allowed to continue.

The responsible shippers and company bosses are also in the line of fire. They are also suspected of not having complied with the safety regulations. The trip was initially over for the 21-year-old driver-he was only allowed to continue after proper securing of the load. These controls are part of a Europe -wide initiative of Roadpol that aims to drastically lower the number of traffic accidents and victims of traffic and increase safety on the streets. Further actions are expected in the near future!
