North Rhine-Westphalia: car loaded to the roof: police stop 56-year-olds

Bielefeld (dpa / lnw) - In Bielefeld, the police stopped a driver because his vehicle was stuffed to the roof with a load. Although the 56-year-old did not exceed the permissible total weight, the police said on Tuesday. However, the risk of the load flying through the interior was too great. The Bielefeld driver had piled the load up over the headrests and up to the vehicle embankment, and the passenger seat and dashboard also served as storage space during the trip last Friday.

According to the announcement, these included vases, picture frames, magazines and books. The driver now faces a fine of 165 euros and a point in the traffic offender file.
