Coordinated Reviews by the Transport Authority and the Vehicle Traffic Administration
In the city of Düren, on the 7th and 8th of March, 2025, a joint operation was carried out by the Düren traffic police and the local road traffic authority's specialist department. The aim of this operation was to enhance the safety of passengers in transit, with targeted checks on taxis and rental cars in the city centre.
A total of 5 vehicles were inspected during the night, and two journeys were immediately terminated due to issues found during the checks. For the 58-year-old taxi driver from Hürtgenwald, the checks revealed that his passenger transport permit had been revoked due to unsuitability by the traffic authority. As a result, the taxi driver's passenger had to disembark immediately, and the journey was terminated on the spot.
No specific information was provided about the nature of the defects found in the 3 vehicles, nor was any information given about the number of vehicles checked or the outcome of the checks for other vehicles. However, it was noted that one of the first rental cars checked did not have a calibrated odometer and was taken out of service until an odometer was installed. The passengers of the first rental car had to continue their journey on foot.
Regarding the 58-year-old taxi driver from Hürtgenwald, it is important to note that the name of the driver is not publicly available. For further inquiries, contact the Düren Police Press Office at 02421 949-1100. Fax inquiries can be made to the same office at 02421 949-1199.
No information was provided about any penalties or fines issued for the vehicles with defects. The police will continue to collaborate with the Dürren road traffic authority for these checks in the future. No information was provided about any additional checks or inspections planned for the future.
If you have any further questions or inquiries, please contact the Düren Police Press Office. The inquiries should be made via news aktuell. It's always important to ensure the safety of passengers in transit, and these checks are a testament to the ongoing efforts being made in Düren to maintain a high level of safety and security for all.
