Sittensen (dpa / lni) - With eight tons of fresh salmon too much on board, the police stopped a truck on the A1 motorway.
During controls on the Hansalinie in the Rotenburg district, the officials encountered several cases of dangerous overloading, according to information on Friday.
The refrigerated transport had 48 tons of salmon loaded instead of the permitted 40 tons.
He was only allowed to continue after the excess cargo had been transferred to another truck.
Of the 780 piglets on one animal transport, 180 animals had to be transported on another truck.
The driver of a small van also managed to exceed the gross vehicle weight rating by a ton with textiles.
A transporter with private removal goods was 1.5 tons too much on board.
The police initiated fine proceedings against the drivers and their employers.
