On the A42 bridge over the Rhine-Herne Canal, a driver with a caravan was stopped by police after the barrier lowered. The bridge has a 3.5-tonne limit and a truck ban. The car is registered as a passenger vehicle, and neither the car nor the caravan individually exceeds 3.5 tonnes, but their combined weight was 4.2 tonnes. The driver mistakenly believed weight was assessed separately and now plans to avoid a fine on the return trip.
