Police in the Mettmann district conducted a voluntary safety check, weighing recreational vehicles. On March 14, 2026, 86 owners had their motorhomes and caravans weighed. Only two vehicles were slightly overloaded; their owners received advice on weight distribution. The campaign was preventive, and no fines were issued.
A similar campaign is planned in Switzerland: on March 22, 2026, from 11:00 to 16:00, police will offer free weighing at two sites in the Herzogtum Lauenburg and Stormarn districts. No registration is required.
