A 40-year-old was driving on the A96 motorway in the Unterallgäu district without the side door of his car. Several callers reported a car leaking fluid with an open door near Bad Wörishofen on Wednesday evening, the police said on Thursday.
During the subsequent inspection, it turned out that one of the station wagon's sliding doors had been completely removed due to damage. In addition, a tank filled with paste was not properly closed and its contents were scattered on the street. The man was no longer allowed to continue driving. He now faces a fine.
