Two Nepalese truck drivers (41 and 37 years old) were caught by the Tyrolean police early on Sunday morning on the Inntal highway. They repeatedly violated the driving and rest times and repeatedly removed their driver cards despite continuing their journey.

During a heavy goods vehicle check in Radfeld, the police stopped the truck with the two Nepalese drivers shortly after 8.30 a.m. on Sunday. It quickly emerged that the two men, aged 41 and 37, had faked several interruptions to their journey between mid-September and mid-October. "The two driver cards were removed several times, but the journey was continued and rest periods were subsequently added to the driver cards," according to the executive.

Men are reported
In September, the two are believed to have been on the road almost continuously for four days in a row without observing the statutory rest periods. A security deposit was collected from them on the spot. Both drivers will be reported to the Kufstein district authority for numerous violations and to the Innsbruck public prosecutor's office on suspicion of falsifying evidence.
