TRAFFIC FACTS for commercial traffic:

During control of commercial traffic, driving and rest times, hazardous goods, and flying inspections are checked. Sobriety and driving permit entitlements are also checked, as well as whether the necessary permits are in place for the current transports. Commercial traffic has a significant opportunity to impact other road traffic, which is why it is vital that commercial traffic sets a good example in the road traffic environment.
