High fines after Truck Show for charity: truckers speak of a witch hunt, police point out serious infringements

An empty fire extinguisher: 350 euros fine. A free exhaust that is not even turned on: 2,500 euros. Participants of the Truck Show in Ciney (Namur province) are furious with the federal highway police because of the rigorous fines imposed on them on Sunday just before their return home. According to the truckers, this is bullying behavior – this is the third time in two months. According to the federal police, it is purely about road safety. “These events support good causes, but the fun is now gone.”
