Police in Schleswig-Holstein are offering free weighing actions for caravans and motorhomes to help holidaymakers start the camping season safely. The events take place at several locations, including the police station in Elmshorn and the A24 junction, as well as on the A1 motorway near Bargteheide (according to the Ratzeburg police).
According to the sources, overloading a vehicle by more than 5% incurs a fine, while exceeding 30% may result in a ban on further travel. The actions aim to check that vehicles comply with permissible weight limits before trips.
