– unfortunately, It is absolutely right that the police car drove without winter tyres. But I can’t answer why it didn’t have it, ” says operations manager Villy Meier in Østfold police district to NRK.
It was Saturday morning, police responded to a traffic accident in Rakkestad. The police car chose to park partially out of the ditch while they worked on site. When they later wanted to move the car, came the not add up on the road.
A fire truck had to assist to get the car back on the road.
It turned out that the police car was not shod, so the police even believe cars should be on such a result – it still had summer tyres.
– This is a vehicle that is run by the Sarpsborg police station. I would expect that the resources we on the message stated ahs is correct and that the vehicles are in safe operating condition, ” says Meier, who says the issue will be taken forward by those responsible.
It has for several days been reported snøvær in the district this weekend. Representatives of the police have been clear that there are winter tires that apply. Therefore, it seems Meier it is regrettable that one of their own cars were not shod for winter conditions.
What would the consequence be if you stopped a car with summer tyres?
– It is an assessment that patrol on site must take. But a possible consequence of driving on winter roads with summer tyres is førerkortbeslag, ” says Meier.
