On Monday, the Swedish Road Administration had a check of heavy vehicles at the E39 at Krossmoen in Eigersund.
A truck train was pulled aside for an extended check.
The wagon train was extra long and ran with a dispensation. It was quickly established that the train was too long for the permit it had, reports the Norwegian Public Roads Administration in an inspection report.
In addition, an overload was detected on both the drive shaft and the entire towing vehicle.
There were damaged straps on the wagon train.

The day before, on Sunday, the same wagon train was stopped at the Rige control station in Kristiansand.
The vehicle was then banned from use. In addition, overhangs were not marked in accordance with regulations, and safety equipment was damaged.
The driver chose to drive on from Rige, despite the ban that was given.
The local newspaper Dalane Newspaper mentioned the matter first.
An oil leak was discovered on the train which was stopped.
