ETV’s evening news programme Aktuaalne Kaamera reported that none of the heavy vehicles that the highway safety police inspected Thursday morning while entering Tallinn were in excellent technical condition.
The first “victim” of the police operation “fell” before the police could signal the truck to stop as the truck with full load of timber broke down by the roadside right in the sight of the police patrol. “It’s not a turtle to go on for 300 years, it will finally die,” said the driver.
Unfortunately the economic recession has taken the proper, mainly leased vehicles back to sales grounds and the work is now done with old and tired trucks. The truck drivers should not be blamed but the owners slip away from responsibility.
"Today we meet such a bad truck that may be lethal in traffic but once we will reach so far with proceedings that we could punish the company, then that company would not operate in the highway cargo transport sector anymore,” said highway safety police traffic supervision service lead constable Priit Tuuna.
