Rigorous international examinations in Grosrosseln and Dillingen uncover multiple violations
On May 15, 2025, a series of heavy vehicle inspections were carried out in Großrosseln/Dillingen. A total of 37 heavy vehicles, including 11 waste transports, were inspected by a joint team consisting of traffic police, BALM, State Office for Environmental and Occupational Safety, and French Gendarmerie Nationale.
During the inspections, several violations were detected. Violations of waste and hazardous goods regulations, the Commercial Code, and numerous social regulations in road traffic, as well as other traffic regulations were uncovered. As a result, several criminal proceedings were initiated for the illegal handling of waste. The details of these proceedings, however, were not provided in the given information.
One of the most concerning findings was the use of expanding foam as a repair method for a French small truck. The inspection forces deemed this method unsafe, particularly as the truck had rusted, load-bearing body parts that were repaired using this foam. The nature of the safety-related defects that led to the French small truck being taken out of service was not further elaborated.
In addition to the French small truck, three other heavy vehicles were prohibited from continuing their journey due to vehicle defects. The details of these defects, unfortunately, were not provided.
It is worth noting that the French small truck, which was repaired using expanding foam on load-bearing floor parts, did not violate any traffic regulations, apart from the unsafe repair method. All violations were penalized with corresponding administrative offense reports.
The name of the person or company that repaired the French truck with expanding foam on load-bearing floor parts, which the inspection services considered an unsafe repair method, is not mentioned in the provided search results.
The inspections were conducted from 09:00 to 13:30. Despite the findings, it is reassuring to know that such inspections are in place to ensure the safety of all road users and the environment.
