Numerous defects
Truck check: Italian driver has to pay 12,700 euros
On Sunday evening, the police were able to pull a heavily overloaded special transport out of traffic on the A2 south highway at the Arnoldstein traffic control point (VKP).
The 47-year-old Italian driver was driving the articulated truck and trailer with a total mass of 66,240 kilograms - meaning the transport was overloaded by a whopping 26,240 kilograms. During a detailed inspection of the vehicle, the officers discovered serious technical defects in the tractor unit and trailer. But that was not all: the tachograph also showed massive violations. The driver was found to have committed a total of 71 violations of driving and rest periods as well as tampering by repeatedly driving without a driver card.
Prohibited from continuing to drive, heavy fine imposed
In view of the serious violations, the driver was prohibited from continuing to drive. In addition, a security deposit of 12,715 euros was imposed, which will be paid by Monday, December 2.
