Control day in Ratzeburg: 159 violations of traffic controls discovered!

On Tuesday, the Ratzeburg police department carried out a comprehensive control and prevention day in which 37 civil servants in the Stormarn and Duchy of Lauenburg circles carried out a total of 27 inpatient checks. When checking 985 vehicles, alarming 159 violations were found. It was particularly worrying that many children did not sit in suitable child seats in a prescription: 38 cases were reported, while seven children were not strapped at all.

The controls also covered grievances such as using mobile phones during the trip (3 violations), various vehicle deficiencies such as missing main inspections or defective lighting. Some drivers also had no valid registration papers or driver's licenses. In addition, the journey for three young people on e-scooters in Ahrensburg ended because their vehicles had no compulsory insurance. Despite the large number of violations found, the officers drew a positive conclusion because the majority of the controllers welcomed the measures and was insightful.
