A charged ambulance draws curious looks on the A5 near Giessen.
However, a car dealer clearly overestimates himself.
Giessen - The autobahn is a reflection of German society.
There are those who make themselves comfortable in the outermost lane at the edge of the road and want to have as little to do with everything as possible.
Then there are the drivers who stubbornly drive in the middle, regardless of what others say or think.
And of course those who can't get to their destination fast enough.
And between the tracks, the bizarre characters sometimes cheat their way through the country.
This is what happened on the A5 between Frankfurt and Kassel.
At the center of this story is an ambulance.
Normally, these make sure that even the stubborn middle lane drivers get out of there to make room for the rescue vehicles.

A5 near Gießen: car dealers from Bremen are clearly overloaded with ambulances
But this ambulance on the A5 did not drive itself, but was loaded on a trailer, as reported by giessener-allgemeine.de.
At the wheel of the truck was a 54-year-old car dealer from Bremen, who apparently wanted to monetize the discarded ambulance.
But because not only the ambulance drew attention, but also the driving style of the car dealer, eyewitnesses called the police on the A5.

The business trip came to an early end in the Limes car park near Gießen.
The police stopped the transport.
But that's not all.
"The officials already had a premonition that the trailer could be overloaded," the Gießen police report said.
The safety of the ambulance was not sufficient.
"The lashing straps were only attached to the trailer with a simple knot and with a hook in the rim," writes the police.

And the officials had the right instinct with their premonition.
The trailer load was exceeded by 26 percent, the overload was over 22 percent.
The result: the ambulance had to be reloaded in the parking lot on the A5 near Gießen.
The car dealer from Bremen will face a three-digit fine.
