reactions of the tuning community
The concerns of the drivers of tuned vehicles regarding police controls is widespread in the tuning scene. However, tuningblog that these worries are often unfounded. As a rule, the authorities have nothing against rules that are compliant as long as the accessories are permitted.
The control rate of tuned vehicles is statistically not above the average of all traffic controls. Among other things, the driver's license, vehicle registration and traffic safety of the vehicle are checked. Particular attention is paid to the admissibility of special vehicles, the condition of the tires and the exhaust system.
drivers always have to carry the general operating license (ABE), EC permits and documents for acceptance by an expert. Missing documentation can lead to caution and longer checks, while properly tuning with the right papers is largely banalized.
Overall, Good Friday at the Nürburgring shows how strong the interaction between tuning culture and police measures is, and emphasizes the challenges with which both the event participants and the security authorities are faced.
