When officials take a look at the back of the 7.5-ton truck that delivers heating oil for the traffic police, they notice serious safety deficiencies.

Rosenheim – On Wednesday, September 21, around 12 noon, a bizarre incident occurred at the Rosenheim traffic police.

A truck wanted to deliver heating oil.

When looking at the loading area of ​​the 7.5 ton truck, police officers found that some things were not in accordance with the regulations.

For this reason, the truck and the 32-year-old driver from the Munich district were subjected to intensive checks, according to the press release.

Heating oil delivery to the police station: the officials' suspicions are confirmed

The officers' suspicions were confirmed.

The 32-year-old's truck driver's license had expired in April 2022, the driver did not have an ADR license and there were no orange warning signs on the truck.

In addition, the heating oil was transported in an IBC, a canister and in a storage tank, the police continue to inform.

Not a single part on the loading area was properly secured.

And anyway: storage tanks for heating oil are not approved for road transport because they do not meet the increased stability requirements for road traffic.

Fuel oil delivery for police: No documents, backup or papers

The driver was also unable to show a transport document, dangerous goods documents, fire extinguishers and dangerous goods equipment.

"In this transport, almost everything that can be done wrong was done wrong," says the police press release.

The officials prohibited the 32-year-old from continuing.

The truck was prevented from continuing its journey until the arrival of a replacement driver with a valid driver's license and the establishment of a proper condition.

Heating oil for the police: criminal proceedings initiated

Criminal proceedings were initiated against the driver and the owner for driving without a license or authorization as the owner to drive without a license.

In addition, administrative offense proceedings with four-digit fines are being initiated against other parties involved.
