When the Norwegian Public Roads Administration inspects heavy vehicles on the roads, a lot is about checking for potentially dangerous faults: for example, if the brakes are in order, that the tires meet the requirements, and that the load is properly secured. .
But quite often it is also about something as banal as drivers filling the windshield with objects that impair visibility much worse than it should be.
We got a new example of this when there was a check in Ånestad in Løten on Friday evening.
It can cause serious accidents
– Window table, can you see the driver?
The Norwegian Public Roads Administration writes this in the inspection record. The photo of the train was taken at a distance of two meters, and thus illustrates very well how much of the view is lost.
We at Broom have previously spoken with inspectors who are very frustrated with things like this. They emphasize that manufacturers do everything possible to ensure that vehicles are safe in traffic. Inconsiderate drivers then place a lot of objects on the windshield, taking away much of the visibility ahead and to the side. In the worst case, this can lead to serious accidents.
The Public Roads Administration struck at night, gave results
Many things were wrong

Therefore, there will also be a ban on use in such cases. Drivers cannot continue driving until it has literally been cleaned up. And if this happens multiple times, it may lead to a review.
During the inspection in Ånestad, several driving bans were issued due to obstructive objects. Also due to the lack and poor securing of the load.
A truck was taken out of Romania for technical inspection. Here it turned out that a lot of things were wrong. This truck had skewed brakes on the trailer, two tires below the legal minimum, and was missing a pump tag. Therefore, there was a fee totaling 12,000 crowns and a voucher for the brakes.
You should almost believe that the train was loaded with lead …
Multiple gross fractures
The driving of a truck from Bulgaria was banned due to damage to the tires and the tread below the legal minimum.
A Finnish truck was checked for driving and rest time. Here, inspectors found the driver to be well outside the current rules.
Therefore, he was denounced for several serious violations.
