Police are fighting illegal tuning: arrests in Burgau and Günzburg!

Günzburg, Deutschland - Last Sunday evening, the Poser/tuner of the Swabian South/West police headquarters in Burgau and Günzburg were deployed. The officials carried out increased traffic controls and encountered unpleasant violations that would even amazing the most clarified auto enthusiasts. Incredible technical changes were found in five vehicles, which led to the immediate withdrawal of the operating license. Those affected, who are between 20 and 43 years old, now have to expect sensitive fines, and their vehicles have not been driven on site.

The defined defects included manipulated exhaust systems that made the vehicles much louder than allowed, as well as too deeply built coherant rides and crazy tires. The latter are not only a dangerous matter, but also reduce traffic safety enormously. The police took two particularly problematic vehicles for checking by experts.

Additional controls in the Unterallgäu district

But that was not the only time that the control group has been active in the past few days. On Whit Monday, June 9, eight other drivers were checked in the Unterallgäu district, who were also on the road in the tuning scene. Here manipulation of the engine software, inadmissible changes in the chassis, as well as non -compliant lighting facilities were discovered, all of which led to the withdrawal of the operating license. When it comes to these checks, care was also taken to ensure that the drivers were not allowed to continue, with a vehicle being secured to create an expert opinion from an expert.

The drivers who were at the age of 26 to 37 showed anything but inconspicuous by their conspicuous behavior, such as strong accelerating and braking for the production of drawers. They also threaten high fines due to the identified violations.

No gray area during tuning

tuning is a widespread hobby in Germany, especially among younger car lovers. It is often forgotten that there are clear guidelines that allow and what not. According to the road traffic registration regulations (StVZO), many of the above modifications, in particular loud exhaust systems or changed brakes, are not permitted. In addition, safety -relevant changes must always be checked by the TÜV and entered in the vehicle documents in order to be insured in the event of cases. Anyone who violates these regulations can not only add up fines and points in the driving suitability register, but also risk that their beloved car is being shut down.

The range of fines cannot be underestimated. The minimalist punishments start at 10 euros for missing documents and taxes to up to 120 euros for non -regulations. There is even the risk of criminal proceedings for illegal street races or excessive volume, while serious defects can lead to the decommissioning of the vehicle.
