Kenchamp Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Don't be fooled by all this road safety spouting. It's all about lining their pockets and even now there is blatant favouritism and targeting at the many checkpoints. If you need to get anything done using a motorbike then i suggest going out before about 9:30 am or run the risk of being pulled at one of these stops and fined for anything they can find 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re free to go on your way for the first three, I think, then a year ban, or a load of money more likely. Happy to be corrected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There really seems like there is little commitment to reduce the Road Deaths due to Drink Driving 30 Police Officers at just 1 checkpoint, and they cannot breathalise every single Driver !!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the other 360 days of the year don't matter, have you ever considered enforceing the law every day of the year !! - isn't that your ### job 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
