Strict controls: Tuning scene in Koblenz in the focus of the authorities!

On April 20, 2025, the Tuning Controlling team from the Koblenz police inspection carried out extensive checks on the Peter-Altmeier-Ufer. This campaign took place in cooperation with the Koblenz traffic directorate and aimed at increasing traffic safety and identifying illegal modifications to vehicles. The review revealed that less technically changed vehicles were found on this day than the previous day.

A total of twelve cases were documented in which the expiry of the operating license was determined. In these cases, the drivers were immediately prohibited from continuing. Additional attention was paid to the noise production: 15 administrative offense procedures for unnecessary noise production were initiated. The controls also include speed violations, the fastest driver measured at 145 km/h at permitted 50 km/h. This is expected to have a high fine and a three -month driving ban.

The police report on another serious case in which a driver was under the influence of cocaine. This led to the initiation of criminal proceedings and to ensure the driving license. The criminal measures reflect the strict regulations that apply in road traffic and should guarantee the safety of road users.

The legal foundations regarding tuning are complex and require precise compliance. According to Autorechonline.de , the installation of performance-enhancing chips, also known as chip tuning, can change the exhaust gas behavior of a vehicle. In such cases, the operating license expires if the modification is not immediately accepted by an officially recognized expert. The corresponding confirmations and reports are essential to avoid legal consequences.

regulations for tuning

The traffic law provisions demand that technical modifications on vehicles are carried out by qualified specialists. Only changes that are decreased by official examination organizations such as TÜV, DEKRA or KÜS are permitted. Vehicles that do not meet the requirements of the road traffic registration regulations can be towed and shut down by the authorities.

Serious violations that can result in the expiry of the operating license ranges from changes to rims and spoilers to improper selection of tires and rims. Vehicle owners are urgently advised to make modifications on the German market with a partial report or general operating license (ABE) to ensure that their vehicles meet the legal requirements.
