Heaving traffic in the Innviertel: Police determine over 20 violations!

What is going on in the Innviertel? The Braunau police inspection used the opportunity for comprehensive traffic control at the traffic control site in St. Peter am Hart on the B 148 on Friday, June 22, 2025. The officials were particularly heavy, and the balance sheet is alarming: A total of ten drivers were displayed due to disregard for the steering and rest periods.

The control made it clear that the regulations on the steering and rest periods of truck drivers are often not observed. According to the provisions of Regulation (EC) No. 561/2006, daily rest periods of at least 11 hours are prescribed, which can also be reduced in certain cases. During the check in Braunau, however, it was found that ten advertisements alone had to be issued due to violations of these regulations. In addition, 11 drivers with vehicles were over 3.5 tons of out -of -towns and thus disregarded the driving ban for these vehicles.

strict measures against traffic violations

The willingness of the police to pass through rigorously can also be seen in further advertisements. The police not only made advertisements about the steering and rest periods, but also added the Braunau district administration in order to punish further violations of the Freight Transport Act. In addition, organ mandates were exhibited due to non -created seat belts and overcharge of the vehicles. This measure is important to ensure safe driving on the streets.

The regulations on the steering and rest period are clear: after 4.5 hours at the latest, an interruption of at least 45 minutes is prescribed, which can be divided into 15 minutes and 30 minutes. An example provides an insight into how these times should be observed correctly: first two hours of steering time, followed by a 15-minute break, then 2.5 hours of steering time and finally a 30-minute interruption. The non -compliance with these regulations can not only lead to advertisements, but also endangers the safety of all road users. [Balm] informs that weekly steering times may not exceed 56 hours and apply for a maximum of 90 hours for two consecutive weeks.

conclusion: pay attention to safety!

The latest controls remind us how important it is to observe the regulations. A safe traffic environment not only depends on the authorities, but also on every single driver. The insight that rules must be observed could save lives and prevent damage. A careful handling of the steering and rest periods should therefore be an absolute must for every professional driver. The police will continue to be vigilant in the future and ensure that the traffic regulations will be complied with.
