Dekra and the myth of the safe bus trip

Strong stuff is what we dished up since yesterday evening, "the first" of public television. Advance of the understanding, perhaps this: The online portal of the DEKRA, Germany's largest audit firm is associated with the note: "According to reads and hears of dangerous bus accidents. And even though you actually know that the bus trip is statistically one of the safest modes of transportation to ask, many still: Can you really feel safe, "Yes, can it?? - The Dekra presents with such comments themselves in the foot.

Because since yesterday, since the evening television program "Report", you know that buses are in the technical inspection by DEKRA experts be pretty "waved through" on the fly, without notice serious shortcomings and challenges were. Such haste has their Background: DEKRA experts who carry out their tasks more quickly, have more in the end of the month pay check! Since then, the verification of a bus also ever ready in ten minutes, although this at least half an hour would be required, could experience such as "Report" films.

Probably in a fit of arrogance formulates further Dekra online: enter "To all the bus passengers feel safer to be able to can coach instruct the system and security experts from DEKRA and TÜV volunteered to test their quality and safety measures ... The examination for the certificate, security Bus Operation 'is comprehensive.

"" report "but no singing hymns of praise, but presents shocking facts. Quote: "In the course of the investigated a traffic stop in mid-March in Heidelberg by the police vehicle experts commissioned eleven schools including buses, which previously were subject to regular review by the DEKRA.

None of the buses was unopposed. The experts found in eight of the Cars "serious failures", three buses they classified as "not roadworthy" field. to conclude from this record, individual auditors were unable Dekra be close, may take, but not the core of the problem. The blame on the compensation system is obviously at DEKRA.

This "Report": ". Their test engineers are on the monthly basic salary is also involved in the transaction when they examined more than a certain number of vehicles per day," The fact that the profit-sharing "in truck and bus inspections" at 40 percent, will Dekra not confirm. Who really likes to dirty his nest! - What is "Report" revealed, makes it clear that money corrupts more than just the character.
