On Thursday afternoon, the Steyr (Upper Austria) traffic police caught a Turkish truck driver who is alleged to have committed a total of 58 violations of the Motor Vehicle Act over a period of 56 days.

Around noon on Thursday, traffic police officers from Steyr inspected the digital tachograph in the truck of a 49-year-old Turkish national from Romania. He is alleged to have repeatedly falsified the driving and rest times on his personally assigned driver card between September 10 and November 5.

Two-Driver Operation
The Turkish national was always driving as part of a two-driver operation and is alleged to have removed his driver card from the tachograph after completing his driving time and continued the trip as a passenger. He is then alleged to have reinserted his own driver card into the smart tachograph and manually added a rest period.

In total, the man was found to have committed 58 violations under the Motor Vehicle Act (KFG). The 49-year-old was prohibited from continuing his journey until he posted a security deposit.
