A tour bus that could no longer drive straight due to a steering defect was stopped at the Nickelsdorf border crossing in the Neusiedl am See district over the weekend.

The tour bus was on its way from Skopje, the capital of North Macedonia, to Vienna. During entry checks on the Eastern Motorway (A4), officers discovered that the steering mount was broken, making it impossible to drive straight. Additionally, a brake caliper was poorly secured.

Tour Bus with Defects Stopped: Driving and Rest Times Also Manipulated

In addition to technical defects, the officers discovered manipulations in the driving and rest times of the tour bus. According to the police, the 55-year-old driver of the bus and his 54-year-old companion admitted to the manipulations of the driving and rest times and were reported. The 73 passengers, primarily women in celebration of International Women's Day, were able to continue their journey with a replacement bus, the police reported on Monday.
