In addition to a practical review on site, participants receive valuable information on the safe loading of your vehicle as well as burglary and theft protection- because both are often underestimated when you start your trip.
Correct loading - arrive safely
An incorrectly loaded vehicle can quickly become a risk of road traffic. Therefore, the police recommend:
- Spread heavy loads on the axis to avoid imbalances
- Fasten the trailer safely : Check the clutch, brake system and lighting regularly
- Protect bicycles well with fixed carrier systems
- Keep important documents at hand , e.g. B. in the glove compartment instead of in the trunk
