POL-DA: Hesse: Go on holiday with a motorhome or caravan/Gratis - Police holiday check - Registration required
The Southern Hesse Police Headquarters is hosting a free safety event for motorhome and caravan travellers. Scheduled for May 30, 2025, the session will focus on preventing theft and ensuring safe loading. Participants must register in advance via email to secure their spot.
The event will run from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM at the Southern Hesse Police Motorway Station in Darmstadt (Pupinweg 1). Officers will provide practical advice on securing valuables, choosing safe parking, and protecting bicycles during transit. They will also highlight the importance of keeping essential documents within easy reach rather than locked in the trunk.
Improper loading poses serious risks, so experts will demonstrate how to distribute weight evenly over the axle. This helps prevent dangerous imbalances while driving. The session will also cover mechanical and electronic security measures to deter theft and break-ins. Registration is mandatory for the safety check. Interested travellers should email **[email protected]** to book their place.
The initiative aims to help travellers avoid common pitfalls before setting off on holiday. Proper preparation, from load distribution to theft prevention, can reduce risks on the road. The police encourage all motorhome and caravan owners to attend and benefit from the expert guidance.
