Stopped by police

Over Tyrolean mountain pass with a scrap caravan

Disregarding the driving ban, a caravan with numerous defects, no registration, no driving license: the list of offences committed by a Romanian driver who was pulled out of traffic by the police on the Hahntennjoch mountain pass in Tyrol on Monday is anything but short.

In winter it is closed due to the snow masses and avalanche danger - in summer it has to be closed regularly due to storms and mudslides. The spectacular pass road, which connects the Tyrolean districts of Imst and Reutte, is not without its dangers and has its pitfalls. It is not for nothing that caravans are banned from driving there.

Romanian pulled out of traffic
However, a Romanian was relatively unimpressed by this on Monday. The driver, who was driving uphill with his caravan on the Hahntennjochstraße (L246) towards Außerfern, was pulled out of traffic by the police on the Imst side and checked.

In addition, the driver was unable to produce a valid driving license or a valid registration certificate for the caravan trailer.
