Defect certificate from the police, but car is no longer drivable?
Good morning dear friends,
A quick question, as I'm not really getting the hang of it.
Six days ago, last Thursday, during a general traffic stop, I received a police citation for a missing first aid kit. According to the police officers, I should report to a police station as soon as possible, along with my car and first aid kit. I gather the same information from the citation, except that the connection to the car isn't entirely clear.
But the day before yesterday, due to a wheel bearing failure, which interestingly enough went unnoticed by both the TÜV a month ago and me until a few minutes ago =wheel is only attached to the brake calliper by the brake disc=.
This means the vehicle is now definitely no longer drivable, and the whole "I'll take a first-aid kit to the police station" thing is out of the question. Could it be that it's sufficient if I show up there with the defect certificate and a first-aid kit, assuring them that it's intended for the specific car and not just borrowed from someone else?
Furthermore, it might be worth considering whether it makes sense to take legal action against the TÜV (German Technical Inspection Authority) for this truly dangerous wheel bearing incident. The resulting damage, after all, extends to the entire braking system.
Thank you!

Call the police and tell them the situation. When the car is repaired in a workshop, send the order confirmation in copy with it. If you repair yourself, invite them to take the defect in sight.
Certainly there is a way to get a time extension because of the dressing box.
Apparently worked?!
Call on the specified police station, explain the situation and let you “ guess”.
It’s gonna work out.
You can unsubscribe and run with the registration certificate to the police. They want to see the box in connection with the car.
No, you can’t do anything against the TÜV, what the TÜV does is no longer a snapshot of the KFZ. A wheel bearing does, however, before it is so adopted sounds
I almost don’t believe it myself, but I didn’t hear or notice anything from the wheel camp until 15min before total destruction. And yes, I know how defective wheel bearings are listening. It is as if the whole simply skipped the stage of the worn camp, and jumped directly to the point where it is adopted and the wheel with accessories begins to loosen. Then, of course, it goes fast, from very quiet grinding to loud punching within 10km. Perhaps the cause was not even the camp itself, I could at any rate look directly into the wheel bearing at the disassembled wheel or what was left of it.
You don’t want to make us seriously know you didn’t hear the broken wheel bearing…
By the way, this can be broken within a month. This is not the problem of TÜV.
I feel strange about it myself, but until 15min or 10km before total loss I did not hear it, no noises, no vibrations, even in curves, nothing at all. And I know how worn or broken wheel bearings are listening. I had never had such an extreme deterioration in such a short time, and I was surprised accordingly. It started with very quiet metallic grinding, and then went very quickly over scratches and scrapes to blow. This was probably all from the loose wheel including brake disc.
And what can the TÜV do? He’s not responsible for pulling down any screw. The error was certainly not present in the main investigation.
a loose wheel does not break a wheel bearing so fast. There must have been something before.
I would go by car on a trailer or tow truck and off to the workshop.
As for the deficiencies card. Ask the police how to do this. Make sure you give them the receipt for the dressing box and a picture of the same as it is in your trunk.
It is likely that the officials will be able to prove this. but they have to tell you.
Lg, Anna
Call the police and inform/request them.
is easy, not the new federation box with signs the check and tell in which workshop the car stands and are already satisfied
