One of the two drivers had no driver’s license, rest periods were ignored, the load was poorly secured and protective equipment was missing: Tyrolean police officers must have been surprised after pulling a dangerous goods transporter out of traffic in Innsbruck on Friday.
The heavy transport truck from Romania, loaded with lithium-ion batteries, was stopped near Innsbruck-Süd on Friday by officials of the Tyrolean state transport department and examined further. “On the one hand, serious violations were noted by the two drivers, aged 58 and 60, who had been driving alternately,” the researchers said.
No permit for the transport of dangerous goods
According to the police, the 60-year-old could not produce a driver’s license and was not authorized to drive the transport of dangerous goods. In addition, the two Romanian drivers had ignored driving and rest times.
Protective equipment was missing and the cargo was not secured
But that’s not all: the drivers were also on the road without the necessary protective and additional equipment. In addition, the load was not sufficiently secured.
The police collected a bail amount from the Romanians. Follow associated ads.
