In Brief

On the A9 near Brück, police checked 54 motorhomes and trailers. Overloading was found in 15 cases, driving banned in 8. One driver carried a scooter, exceeding the load by several hundred euros (according to one source by a mid three-digit amount, according to another by several hundred euros). Another motorhome had brake defects and a diesel leak.

At the start of the summer holidays, German police intensified controls on motorhomes. Overloading can cause vehicles to sway, creating a road hazard.

Earlier, in May, on the A31 near the Ems tunnel in Leer, a free weighing campaign for motorhomes and motorhomes with trailers took place. 35 drivers took the opportunity to check their vehicles. Police reported violations related to exceeding permissible weight.
