Introduction

Lanzarote is the fourth largest island of the Canary Islands and is the furthest to the east. like the other canary islands, lanzarote is also of volcanic origin. The ground is almost everywhere black lava, which does not necessarily mean that all the beaches are only black sand. There are also beautiful white beaches. The most beautiful beaches are on the east and south sides of the island. The artist cesar manrique lived on lanzarote; many of his small works of art and seven of his large works of art can be admired on the island. Because manrique was so vehemently opposed to mass tourism on the island, no high rise buildings were allowed on lanzarote. The existing vegetation consists mainly of cacti and palm trees.

population

The island has 110.000 inhabitants, almost half of whom live in the capital arrecife. The number of tourists is limited: there can never be more than 80.000 visitors on the island at the same time.

Lanzarote is 60 kilometers long and about 25 kilometers wide at its widest point. Lanzarote is located northeast of fuerteventura and 125 kilometers from the moroccan coast. It is the driest island of the Canary Islands and is sometimes plagued by violent sandstorms from the Sahara. north of the island is the chinijo archipelago: several small islands that together with the north coast of lanzarote form a nature reserve.

Economy

Tourism is the backbone of the economy. About 90% of the working population is involved in some way, directly or indirectly, with the million and a half tourists who come to the island every year. A fishing village like puerto del carmen has grown into an absolute tourist center. But the original source of income, fishing, has not completely disappeared, thank god. There is also viticulture in Lanzarote; the wines of this island are considered the best wines of the Canary Islands. Other agricultural products, mainly onions, tomatoes and potatoes, are of secondary importance.

Airports

Arrecife airport is located five kilometers west of arrecife on the road to the popular seaside resort of puerto del carmen. most charter flights are handled on thursdays. This is the busiest day for the airport and sometimes you have to wait quite long for your luggage. There is a bus connection between the airport and arrecife, but the last bus leaves already at 19.00. After that you have to rely on a cab or a rental car.

Public transport

There is a regular timetable between the capital arrecife and the different beach resorts. Cabs are plentiful and cheaper than in mainland Spain. Sometimes you drive at a fixed price, sometimes the meter is turned on. Here it is important to make clear arrangements.

There are several ferry connections between arrecife and the other canary islands, as well as cadiz on the spanish mainland.

Traffic and parking situation

driving a car on lanzarote sometimes takes some getting used to. It often happens that a car in front of you suddenly brakes, turns, or turns around without any warning sign. Therefore, please keep your distance and be aware of the presence of people and animals, especially on the side streets.

in the center of arrecife and in the popular resorts you will hardly find a parking space. It is forbidden to park on the sidewalk with a yellow or white border. a blue border means that you can park for a fee. The local population parks where they please. Do not follow this example! also never park in front of a garbage can. they are constantly emptied and if your car is in the way, it could even be towed away. Nowhere does it say you can’t park there, but the local population knows about it.

hotels

Most visitors go to a vacation resort on the coast. Puerto del carmen is the most popular beach resort with the most tourists. there are many hotels and vacation apartments here, but, as mentioned in the beginning, nowhere on lanzarote you will find the mass hotels like on gran canaria or tenerife. If you prefer more tranquility, a vacation home inland or on the coast will also be possible. The number of tourists is limited and as a result so is the number of accommodations. for the high season you should have reserved in time.

what do i have to do if i want to pick up a car?

to pick up your car you will need your voucher, passport, driver’s license and credit card. It is very important that your driver’s license and credit card are in the same name as that of the main driver. Remember that the local rental company will reserve a certain amount as a deposit on your credit card. This requires the PIN code of your credit card. If your driver’s license is foreign (z.B. In chinese), you must bring a translation. Only your original passport and driver’s license will be accepted – a copy is not sufficient.

Are there additional costs?

In general our prices are all-inclusive. If there are any additional costs, our booking department will contact you before issuing the invoice. If you have any objections, you can cancel your reservation at any time without any obligation (at least 48 hours in advance).

What type of insurance applies to my car rental?

Generally, liability insurance, fire insurance, fully comprehensive insurance and theft insurance are included in the cost of your car rental.

What is a carefree label?

this label indicates that a rental car meets the following requirements: unlimited mileage, no excess liability (and no excess coverage available), sustainable energy policy and that the rental car company has a good reputation. The display of vehicles that meet these four requirements will speed up the selection of a suitable vehicle for you.

how to change or cancel my reservation?

You can make your reservation through "my account" cancel. We advise you to contact us by phone if your change or cancellation is made at short notice (48 hours or less).

When will I receive confirmation of my booking??

Most reservations are confirmed within a few minutes of payment. We recommend contacting our booking department for last minute reservations (pick up within 48 hours).

There are around 30 to 50 e-scooters on the road or parked in stockelsdorf. the advantage here: they usually belong to a rental company. the municipality of stockelsdorf seeks talks with the operating company voi. In particular, problems were discussed that arise from incorrectly parked e-scooters on sidewalks and bike paths and lead to obstructions for pedestrians and cyclists as well as people with disabilities.

"The municipality of stockelsdorf is working on solutions to the problem with the involvement of the company voi", according to mayor julia samtleben. "As a pilot project, a first parking area for e-scooters was prepared in the immediate vicinity of the Gerhard Hilgendorf school, near ahrensboker strabe 90/92."

the company voi has included this area as "incentivized parking zone" (IPZ) in their app as a virtual solution. The parking area is suggested to the users as a suitable parking location and they receive a bonus if the scooters are properly parked there. Further parking areas (parking zones) for e-scooters in the center of stockelsdorf are to follow.

. Hmmm. If I remember correctly, this problem was already feared before the approval of these scooters and the rental companies have committed themselves to collect the scooters every day and bring them back to their locations. What has become of it?
Above all:will solve the problem in the NEXT YEARS. That is not at all, that one should still live the next years with these stumbling blocks!
bonus grant i find wishy-washy and doesn’t really contribute to the solution that the scooters are parked at a certain place.
The whole system would have to be revised.
E.g. that the hirer has no more costs until the scooter has been properly parked in a place equipped for this purpose. About GPS certainly no problem.
If someone parks his scooter somewhere, the costs continue to run for him. The solution would be so simple, but also so effective. But. Typical lubeck. It’s not without reason that the politics here are compared behind closed doors to those of the Schildburger.

Unfortunately, it is unlikely that anything will be done about this problem.

Who in lubeck should select and approve these zones?.

The already completely overburdened administration will surely need many years for this.

In connection with the scooter problem I ask myself again the question whether the operators of the scooters pay to the city taxes that benefit all citizens.

Maybe someone knows what about it and can enlighten me.

It would only be fair if the operators had to pay for the use of public space.

After all, every market stall operator has to pay for every single meter of market space used!

Or do the operators pay nothing at all because they are part of the currently hyped traffic turnaround??

the system with these scooters is a single mistake.

It would be better this way:
the city announces every year, which provider is allowed to rent out his scooters.
The highest bidder then gets the permission to rent out scooters in the city area under certain conditions.
Everyone else must remove their scooters.

There will be fixed pick-up and recharging stations, for example at bus stops or advertising boards, into which the scooters must be pushed. There these then lock in and are charged again.

Pick up and return only at these stations.
Leaving it somewhere and walking away is then just as impossible as tipping a scooter over or throwing it on a street.

And the city would still take money.

But that would be too easy.

Keep rolling

the scooters are in no way harmful to the environment. Anyone who takes a closer look at the subject will understand this very quickly. I bet everyone who commented here has a driver’s license and a car. Exactly how much space does it take up? How much infrastructure has been created for the car alone? Of course we can continue to close our eyes and pretend it is fine as it is. However, it makes more sense to think about alternatives. The conversion of the fackenburger, the rental of the bikes or even the scooters are in my opinion the right approach. Likewise I find it super that at least one of the enterprises, is endeavored and takes care of the problem and looks for solutions. I have been riding the voi to work every day for the last two years. It saves me a lot of time, money and nerves. And no one uses the scooters, 80% of my colleagues now use a rental or private scooter.

the scooters themselves I find a great thing. I rarely drive a car and regularly ride a bike. And sometimes scooters. When I don’t feel like going to the city again, or just so that the bike doesn’t have to be left unattended in the city any longer. So I have found that scooters are sometimes a useful alternative for me, which are also still a lot of fun. It is simply a pity and not the fault of the scooters, what some people unfortunately make of it!

every scooter that is not on private property will be confiscated and the operator will be fined 1000€! Should the scooter (as usual!) stand obstructing traffic, z.B. In the middle of the foot / bike path: 5000€! At the 3. violation the rollerbude is closed!
Otherwise is the useless scrap quite obviously not to be mastered!

the best idea and it is proposed here several times: the scooters may be logged out only at certain places. Otherwise continue to run at the expense of the lender. How and where some contemporaries simply shoot the things, but is not normal. The scooters could have been a good thing, but unfortunately fail because of various tenants.
Stupid I find, that one calls out already immediately again a comparison to the car.
Then drive times to the purchase with such a thing. That’s not what it was created for.
create parking spaces – done!

and again the easiest and fastest (. ) solution is not even considered. Anyone who wants can become a "collector" register the scooter. these people collect the things and bring them to fixed (loading) places. Per scooter there is money. However, very, very little. Why not as a municipality prescribe the operators a minimum amount for which it is worthwhile?! Then the problem would be solved and the city within 24h scooter free.

Lack of load securing on car trailers not a trivial offense

A trailer behind a car is a practical alternative for transporting loads. In the trailer can be transported most things that private individuals need in everyday life. But you must not underestimate the load securing in the trailer, because many drivers assume that they are not liable as private person. But this is far from the case: regulations and laws on load securing apply equally to the professional trades as well as private individuals. Unsecured loads are dangerous for you and other road users. In addition to the load securing in the car trailer, there are also requirements for the total weights and axle distributions. The trailer load securing follows certain laws that must be observed. In our guide, we explain where you can find them and which aids are available for securing loads in trailers, such as trailer nets.

Laws about securing loads in trailers

Trailer load securing is neglected by many car drivers until penalties and fines are incurred. To prevent this from happening, the relevant laws should be observed. In principle, load securing in the trailer in the § 22 paragraph 1 of the road traffic regulations regulated. It is written here that:

loads must be stowed in such a way that they cannot slip, fall over, roll back and forth, fall down or generate avoidable noise during emergency braking or evasive action.
In addition, § 23 states that visibility must not be impaired and that traffic safety must not suffer.

However, since the laws do not provide any information about the actual securing of loads, the authorities make use of the guidelines from the association of german engineers, the VDI guidelines 2700 ff. Here are all the rules and techniques for securing loads in the trailer. Actually, the guidelines are intended for professional load securing on the truck, but the regulations for load securing also apply in road traffic among private individuals. The driver, the vehicle owner, the loader and the shipper of the goods are all responsible for securing the load in the trailer. However, the driver has a duty to check the load securing and load distribution. In addition, the driver must make any necessary adjustments and adapt his driving behavior during the journey.

trailer load securing in practice

During a journey with a trailer, strong forces are exerted on the load, which are especially noticeable during braking and starting. The weight of the goods must be multiplied by the impact speed to calculate the mass weights of the load.

A bag of potting soil with a content of 50 kg can reach a mass weight of unbelievable 2 tons at 40 kilometers per hour.

The consequences of an accident would be devastating. In such cases, the load exceeds the frictional force and becomes an uncontrollable projectile. It is advisable to drive in an appropriate manner, but driving carefully or braking lightly is not a solution, as this does not eliminate the laws of physics. Transport with the trailer should be secured at all times. In the DIN EN 12640 it is described that lashing points must be available on commercial vehicles for the transport of goods. However, this only applies to vehicles weighing more than 3.5 tons. Nevertheless, it is a clear recommendation to equip even smaller trailers with lashing points, which should apply at least to the 4 lashing points in the corners of the floor panel. These lashing points can already be used to secure the load properly. Loads can be secured with

lashing belts lashing down so that the load is secured tightly in the trailer.

In addition antirslip mats (anti-slip materials) use of lashings that prevent slippage.
With form-fitted load securing, it must be ensured that heavy objects down loaded and that the load distribution plan is adhered to.
In addition, the load must be seamless, whereby individual objects cannot fall onto others. This also applies to gapless loading at the headboard, which should be done by empty pallets or a head lashing if necessary. This is the case when, for reasons of load distribution, it is not possible to load the vehicle without gaps at the end wall. By positive loading a large part of the trailer load securing can already be covered.

aids for securing loads in the trailer

There are numerous aids available for adequate load securing in the car trailer.

The most important measure for load securing is the lashing down the load. For this purpose lashings and lashing straps needed. Since very many smaller trailers do not have a safety barrier, these should be urgently retrofitted. Retrofitting is not difficult and only in this way can a sensible load securing be made with lashing straps. Every owner of a trailer should have sufficient lashing straps at his disposal. care must be taken to replace them regularly. Damage to the yarn of more than 10%, deformation due to heat and chemicals, or corrosion on the ratchets must result in replacement of the lashing straps.
A further aid is the trailer net. This is particularly suitable for bulky goods such as shovels, rakes or branches. The trailer net is placed over the goods and attached to the trailer eyelets. This prevents parts of the load from falling off the trailer.
An aid which, in combination with lashing belts, secures rather heavy loads, is the anti-slip mat. This prevents the load on it from slipping, which can reduce some physical forces.
For bulk goods such as sand or grain, tarpaulins are suitable, to prevent the load from blowing away. care should also be taken to ensure that the load is not piled into a steep cone.
If higher articles are frequently loaded that are above the drop sides, it is worthwhile to purchase a body, ensuring that the load is slip-proof even in the upper area. Aids for car trailer load securing are thus available for every occasion.

Penalties and liability for violations

There are numerous regulations and appropriate aids for securing loads in car trailers, so you are advised to take all the necessary measures to do so. If you break the law, you may be fined and have points on your driving record, depending on the offense. If the authorities notice an offense during a traffic check, they can prevent the vehicle from continuing its journey until the load has been properly secured. In more serious cases, direct administrative offences may also be imposed. If an accident occurs in which people are even injured, a report is filed in every case, which can ultimately be punished with a custodial sentence. There may also be problems with liability, as the insurance company may refuse to pay if the car trailer load is not properly secured. The permissible total weight of a car with a trailer is important. With a class B driver’s license, a trailer with a total permissible mass of 750 kg may be towed. Depending on the overcharging, the penalty is. If more than 5%, it is 10 EUR. If the trailer is more than 15% overloaded, the fine is 35 EUR and if the trailer is more than 30% overloaded, the fine is 235 EUR plus one point. Otherwise, there are numerous penalties that apply to the length and width of the vehicle and thus also to the trailer. Insufficient load securing in the trailer resulting in an accident is punished with 75 EUR and one point and is the highest offense in this context. The smallest penalty is due as soon as noise is caused by inadequate trailer load securing. In this case it is 10 EUR.

Driving with a trailer

Finally, a few words about the actual driving with a trailer behind the car. The maximum speed is 80 km/h, although in exceptional cases a sticker can be applied for driving at 100 km/h. A trailer may not be parked in the public area for longer than two weeks. In addition, in the event of parking, wheel chocks must be placed under the wheels so that the trailer cannot roll away. With every trailer, care must be taken to ensure that the permissible weights are observed. Both the actual load of a trailer and the support load must not exceed the maximum weights specified in the vehicle registration document under any circumstances. In such a case, the trailer can quickly start to lurch, which would negate the efforts made to secure the load in the car trailer.
