It’s hard to get used to seeing a minibus pulling a trailer with a minibus, though horror caravans you cannot be sufficiently prepared for the risk of accident.

Drivers are often only faced with a much longer trailer than usual when passing. Used cars, trailers and minibuses are mainly transported from western countries via Hungary to the Romanian used car market. Until now, a 2009 government decree has made it possible to transport oversized trailers for M1 and N1 vehicles.

  • Category M1: Passenger van with up to 8 seats in addition to the driver’s seat.
  • Category N1: Freight vehicle with a technically permissible maximum laden mass not exceeding 3.5 tons.Until now, oversized vehicles have been penalized for minor infractions of traffic rules.

Pursuant to the TRAFFIC tightening, as of January 31, police officers can impose an administrative fine of up to half a million florins on combinations of irregularly towed, overweight and oversized vehicles, even if they are cars or vans. The extension of the possibility of fines to vehicle categories M1 and N1 will make it possible to stop the terror caravans and remove the license plates and registration certificates.

  • Extra horror caravan: Romanian minibus with engine failure and a trailer was towed on a leash

    The drivers were fined 100 and 150 thousand florins.

According to the Ministry of Innovation and Technology, the tightening that will take effect on January 31 will make action against vehicle operators and drivers more effective, which can help reduce the phenomenon that poses a serious risk to road safety.

Until now, only trucks over 3.5 tons could be inspected and sanctioned by the police. Not the total length and weight of the cargo. According to a 2009 government decree, vehicles of categories M1 and N1 are excluded from the penalty of the maximum gross weight allowed in an administrative procedure. Under the Infringement Act 2012, vehicles of categories M1 and N1 could be penalized for minor traffic offenses in the case of large shipments. This lagoon could be used by Romanian drivers who regularly transported cars, trailers and minibuses from Hungary to the east through Hungary.

The relevant provision of the Road Traffic Law allows the vehicle to be stopped until the fine or monetary insurance is paid. At our request, the ORFK wrote: TRAFFIC

Its modification, which will enter into force on January 31, 2021, will no longer be an exception for vehicles or combinations of vehicles of categories M1-N1, so that from that date the exceeding of the maximum weight allowed in load will be subject to administrative fine.

Horror caravans could also be fined half a million

They expand the possibility of control and fines.
