Still keiharder!

Don’t get us wrong: every one who is a vehicle of highways inspectors in hot pursuit, there is one too many. Those things are simply to be missed if you really with all the other things are working under the car and that’s never a good thing. Rijkswaterstaat, then opens again for the attack on those red crosses over the motorway continue to ignore.

Was previously ignoring the red crosses within the scope of the Penal Code, in order to indicate the seriousness of the situation. In addition, highways inspectors recently promoted to the BOA’s, and they used the power given to themselves fines from to be able to write. Finally, this invent we do not self – designate additional signs to ensure that a red cross means that the lane is closed. Genius.

The measures have, however, had an effect, since the number of accidents in 2015, only ten were against 21 units in 2014.

Moar highways inspectors

On behalf of Rijkswaterstaat is the number of highways inspectors (and thus, also BOA) has expanded from eight to as many as 50 pieces. A trial in Rotterdam would already have proven that these measures effect. Thus, in 15 months, over 700 tickets issued for disregard of a cross. Who for the first time the error you will get a fine of 237 euro. With repetition, you are bound to be even firmer the kid.

Now, but we hope that we massively our pokkies ignored during the drive, because the miss of a red cross is simply not under the heading of “it can happen to anyone”. That’s just stupid.
