Dutch driver in action.
Nie zatrzymał się do kontroli, nie miał szkolenia okresowego i przewoził ponad 4 tony drobiu za dużo

According to officers of Bydgoszcz ITD, the beautiful Dutch Volv FH had to be chased recently. The driver did not react to the signal to stop, continuing his journey.

When the truck was finally pulled to the checkpoint, it turned out to be another overloaded transport of live poultry. ITD in Bydgoszcz has already stopped such transport several times, precisely by carriers from the Netherlands.

Message WITD Bydgoszcz:

On September 4 this year, WITD inspectors in Bydgoszcz, performing their official duties in the Mogilno poviat, selected a vehicle belonging to a Dutch carrier for transporting live animals to be stopped.

The first attempt to stop the vehicle failed, the driver ignored the signal to stop. Inspectors chased. The vehicle was finally inspected at a checkpoint where weight parameters can be checked.

The reason for not stopping the driver, as it later turned out, was because the vehicle is significantly overloaded. As a result of weighing, the total weight was exceeded by almost 4.5 tons and the axle load exceeded by 1.250 t.

In addition, the audit found that the driver does not have the periodic training required for professional drivers. Due to the fact that the transported load was live poultry, the Poviat Veterinary Officer was called to the place of control.

An explanatory proceeding has been initiated for infringements found during the inspection. Bail was taken on future penalties and the driver was fined.
