Düsseldorf Police Crack Down: E-scooter Driver, Hazardous Truck Seized

Düsseldorf police recently conducted traffic checks, leading to multiple offenses and safety concerns. An e-scooter driver and a truck owner face administrative charges, while a hazardous truck was taken off the road.

On April 16, 2025, Düsseldorf police targeted traffic checks in the city area. They discovered an e-scooter driver committing administrative offenses, with both the driver and the owner potentially facing charges.

The officers also found a small Chevrolet truck posing a significant risk. Due to severe rust and suspension issues, it was deemed a rolling hazard and immediately removed from the road. Further investigation revealed a suspicious fresh inspection sticker, raising suspicions of fraudulent certification. Despite searches, no information about the Rivian truck's operator or owner was found.

In total, 23 cycling offenses were detected, resulting in 21 warnings and two reports of administrative offenses. Among car drivers, 32 warnings were issued, with eight leading to administrative offense reports and one case escalating to a criminal investigation.

The Düsseldorf police operation has highlighted the importance of vehicle safety and adherence to traffic rules. The hazardous Chevrolet truck's removal and the administrative charges issued serve as reminders of the consequences of neglecting these responsibilities.
