The case caused a stir: in Dresden, the police towed a Porsche coated with a golden foil.
The car was not only parked illegally in a residents' parking lot, the question also had to be clarified whether the film could blind other road users.
According to a report in the "Bild" newspaper, an appraiser has now inspected the vehicle with Bulgarian license plates and found that the gold-colored glossy film actually affects road safety. One must assume that there is "a considerable dazzling effect and danger to other road users," the paper quotes a police spokesman.
The car is no longer allowed to be driven on the road and has to be transported away covered.
A 29-year-old Bulgarian was identified as the driver.
The man had received a dangerous speech and now had to pay for towing costs, the report and the administrative offense.
Shiny foiled cars are repeatedly pulled from the traffic by the police.
In Hamburg in 2019, a Porsche Panamera covered with gold foil was recognized as a safety hazard.
In October of the same year, the Düsseldorf police seized a gold-foiled SUV whose exhaust system had also been manipulated.
In principle, Paragraph 30 of the Road Traffic Licensing Regulations (StVZO) apply in such cases, explained TÜV expert Thorsten Rechtien at the time: Vehicles must “be built and equipped in such a way that normal traffic does not harm anyone or endanger, hinder or annoy anyone more than inevitably «.
