(hd) Yesterday (08.07.2025), the police in Herford set up a checkpoint on the bypass to monitor long-distance traffic. The focus was particularly on caravans, motorhomes and cars with caravan trailers. Trucks were also checked on a random basis. Before the start of the summer vacations, the police would like to make drivers more aware of the issue of road safety. A total of 27 vehicles were checked at the checkpoint, including 18 motorhomes / cars with caravans. The officers paid attention to possible overloading, load distribution and correct load securing. Only verbal warnings were issued for minor infringements. The officers focused on the preventive nature of the measures and gave advice and recommendations for future behavior in traffic didactic discussions. In three cases, however, more serious violations were found, each of which must be punished as part of misdemeanour proceedings.
