Police Traffic Operation Uncovers Drunk Drivers and Tachograph Violations

Slovak police conducted Operation Truck and Bus, a traffic enforcement initiative targeting commercial vehicle violations. The operation uncovered multiple infractions including drunk driving among commercial vehicle operators. A significant portion of the violations involved breaches related to tachographs, the digital devices that record driving times and rest periods for truck and bus drivers to ensure compliance with EU regulations on driver working hours. The operation reflects ongoing efforts by Slovak authorities to improve road safety and ensure commercial drivers comply with mandatory rest periods designed to prevent fatigue-related accidents.
