Title: Lost in Lüdenscheid-Nord: The Unconventional Police Checkpoint
In the heart of the Ruhr area, a surprising scene unfolded at a police checkpoint in Lüdenscheid-Nord. A truck driver, dressed as jolly old Saint Nick, found himself in need of directions. The officers, noticing their boss Guido Bloch (50) hiding beneath the Santa Claus beard, promptly guided him through the checkpoint.
Navigating the Truck Ban
Recently, Lüdenscheid-Nord imposed a truck ban due to the ongoing closure of the A45 and the demolition of the Rahmede viaduct. Although the ban was in place, some drivers still found themselves lost, as evidenced by the Santa Claus-dressed trucker.
The Boss's Inspired Intervention
Guido Bloch, the head of the traffic directorate, appreciated the officers' assistance. Instead of asking for his credentials or loading documents, the officers greeted their boss with praises and sweets, highlighting the value of their checks.
The Unwavering Vigilance
Inspecting a total of 101 vehicles (68 trucks and 33 passenger cars), the police uncovered several vehicles that should not have been on the road. They discovered 49 unauthorized trucks, five with technical defects, and three vehicles posing a risk to road safety, which were subsequently immobilized. Two drivers were banned from continuing their journeys.
While dealing with unseasonal incidents in winter garb, the officers effectively showcased their vigilance and commitment to ensuring the safety of all road users.
