Consultation on draft directive regarding safeguarding workers from ionizing radiation hazards within the Commission.

In a series of inspections that took place on Kalker Hauptstraße / Walter-Pauli-Ring, German authorities have secured a Mercedes-Benz AMG and a Land Rover. The Mercedes AMG was found to be manipulated, with a remote control device discovered that could alter the volume and sound of the car's exhaust system.

During the inspections, a 19-year-old driver from Cologne was stopped and found not to possess a driver's license. The PTB weapon was found behind the seat of the 19-year-old's vehicle. It is unclear whether there is any connection between the 19-year-old and the Mercedes AMG incident.

The 19-year-old driver has been involved in previous incidents of driving without a license. The Land Rover was seized along with the PTB weapon during the inspections.

In a separate incident, a 27-year-old driver of the Mercedes AMG was stopped by police. A remote control hidden in the 27-year-old's underwear was found to be used for manipulating the exhaust system of the Mercedes AMG. However, the specific nature of the manipulation was not detailed in the provided information.

The police have filed a report regarding these incidents and have ordered the cars to be inspected by an expert. The 27-year-old was not further identified in the provided information.

This development comes as part of ongoing investigations into emissions cheating by German authorities. The remote control device discovered in the Mercedes AMG is believed to be part of the system used to manipulate the car's emissions.

These incidents serve as a reminder of the importance of adhering to traffic laws and regulations, as well as the consequences of attempting to cheat emissions tests. Further updates on these investigations are expected in the coming days.
