222 Absehrift The General Commander of the Uniform Protectorate Police. Z. 1II-34.40 Preg, August 10, 1942. DCrE To the Rundeclaoe Landes-Beirke- und Regierungspolizei- Vereinsamten and to the Gendarmerielandskommandos. Subject to punishment of violations of road traffic - admission - order. In order to monitor road transport, in particular on land roads, several inspectors were employed. Their main task is to monitor freight transport by lorries. The documents, the long-distance traffic permit, the location and the condition of the vehicle were checked. Infringements of the Regulation concerning the transport of goods by motor vehicles of 2.5.1941 /VBlRProt. p.234/ are followed by German law. 243/l939, which are detected during the checks, will then be notified to the competent vehicle registration authorities for the purpose of tracking and to remedy the deficiencies, except in the case of individual cases, to give instructions on the amount of the penalty to be imposed. With regard to the criminal massa in the event of violations of the Stvzo, it is pointed out that it is particularly important, among the special obligations of the war economy, to maintain the circulation in force. Accordingly, journeys without the prescribed vehicle documents are to be punished perceptibly. In general, I consider a minimum penalty of 200 K to be imposed. In the case of defects in the vehicle, for the amount of the penalty, the nature of the defect is de-soheidend; Febler on the control or the brakes must be penalised higher because of the accuracy and the accuracy. In the cases of the falsifiers on the lighting systems and direction-indicators, the penalty level could be kept lower; however, it is above all necessary to monitor that the defects are eliminated immediately.
