Positive alcohol test: police pull trucks off the A1

A truck driver was stopped on the A1 motorway in the district of Amstetten due to multiple violations. Police officers from the Autobahn Police Station Amstetten and the Lower Austria Department of Transport conducted inspections with technical experts from the state. At around 10:30 PM, a 62-year-old Slovak man driving the truck failed an alcohol test, leading to the temporary revocation of his license and prohibition of further travel. During a technical inspection in a mobile testing unit, several serious mechanical defects were discovered. Additionally, the required noise assessment was missing, and outstanding safety fees had not been paid, which also prevented the truck from continuing its journey. The driver and vehicle owner will be reported to the relevant district administrative authority.
