Yesterday at noon, officials from the Freiburg traffic police inspected a 46-year-old road user who was traveling on the autobahn with a sprinter team.
The driver stated that he was driving from Moldova to Portugal with his family members. In the subsequent individual surveys, it was found that the alleged family members did not know each other by name. The specified entry and planned exit locations also differed significantly.
In addition, many goods were transported whose addressing did not match the driver and passengers. Ultimately, it was conclusively proven that it was a commercial transport.
The driver also identified himself as a self-driving entrepreneur on his website. However, the driver was unable to present the necessary permits for the carriage of people and goods.
In addition, the Sprinter should have been equipped with a tachograph, as the driver had to adhere to the driving and rest times applicable in Europe. The self-driving entrepreneur also waived this.
In addition, the beaded tires gave the officers the impression of a considerable overload. Weighing the vehicle combination showed an overload of 62 percent or three tons.
Continuing the journey was prohibited. The driver called another vehicle on site to reload the goods. The 46-year-old has to bear the costs of the weighing and the accompanying police fee. Furthermore, the driver had to leave a four-digit deposit.
