Curious Operation in Lower Austria: Van Towed Truck with Trailer Loaded with Cars

The driver of the van, which had towed the motor vehicle convoy on Friday evening, did not have a valid driving license. The license plates were stolen. The towed truck and trailer were overloaded and had six serious technical defects. Further travel was prohibited, and both drivers will be reported according to police information from Monday.

Dangerous Towing Transport Stopped in Lower Austria

A highway police patrol noticed a car transporter on the Stockerau Expressway (S5) - a truck with a loaded car and a trailer with two cars - that was driving in a zigzag pattern and was being towed by a van using a lashing strap. The vehicles were stopped on the S33.

During an inspection, the 35-year-old Romanian at the wheel of the van could not present a driver's license. A 26-year-old compatriot was at the wheel of the car transporter. The towed truck was overloaded by more than seven percent and the trailer by over 21 percent. A provisional security deposit was collected, and reports will be made to the district administrative authority.
