In the context of preventing road collisions, combating the phenomenon of nuisance and fostering a sense of road safety, motorcyclists of the Limassol Traffic Police, carried out between the hours of 5 p.m.p.m. yesterday - 4 a.m. today, traffic police checks in various areas of Limassol, with emphasis on the city's coastal front, main roads, as well as places where fatal road collisions and nuisance had occurred in the past.
During the traffic checks 10 large capacity motorcycles were seized, while a total of 46 complaints were made for various traffic offences.
Also in Limassol, during the campaign carried out as part of Roadpol's weekly campaign for trucks and buses, in cooperation with the British Bases Police, TOM and the Customs and Mechanical Control Department, an emergency mechanical inspection was carried out on a private vehicle, which was found to have defective brakes, and on the same day had undergone a technical inspection by a private workshop and a certificate of fitness was issued. Therefore, following this development, the certificate of fitness was cancelled and the vehicle's registration was suspended pending a re-inspection. At the same time, the TOM, due to its jurisdiction, will consider any measures in relation to the workshop.
In addition, the Police, in cooperation with the TOM, carried out another four cancellations of certificates of fitness and suspension of registration licences on four vehicles, pending a re-inspection of the respective vehicles.
Targeted checks by the traffic police continue daily throughout the 24-hour period, on all roads throughout the country.
