Police in the Gütersloh district are offering owners of motorhomes and caravans the chance to weigh their vehicles for free at the district administration building. Exceeding the permissible gross weight poses not only a safety risk but also the threat of fines.
A similar campaign took place at the Kamen Karree parking lot, where Unna police conducted voluntary weighing ahead of the summer holidays. Participants could check their vehicle's weight free of charge to avoid overload penalties.
