Over the week up to last Sunday, Calvia police carried out a campaign to check on vehicles. A total of 245 vehicles were pulled over and fines were issued in respect of 46 of them; almost one in five, therefore.

Of these 46, there were 29 for not having an up-to-date ITV (MOT) or for driving without a licence; 24 were cars and five were motorcycles. Five vehicles carrying goods were checked and all were found to breach some form of regulation. A further reason for fines was deficiencies with lights.

The police will be undertaking more campaigns to check on vehicles over the next few weeks.

So Fred, are you happy for unlicenced drivers and unlicenced and unchechecked vehicles to be on the roads? I´m sure you´d change your view if any one of them ran into you or maybe killed a member of your family. Of course Calvia needs money - all areas do - but the roads need to be safe too.

Pathetic money making exercise. The police are as bad as the Looky Looky men. Why aren't they going after real criminals ?
