During the road control some 30 scooters were controlled. Some 28 gendarmes were involved in the operation. According to a release from the gendarmes the three riders who had their scooters confiscated did not have their insurance. Apart from confiscating the bikes the gendarmes also issued a fine to the riders who ended up walking home.
Gendarmes also issued a fine to riders who were not wearing a helmet.
The gendarmes said they intend to continue with these controls on a regular basis since their last control on scooters took place in September where they also confiscated five scooters.
Scooter riders can cause serious accidents to other users as youngsters weave in and out of traffic, they conduct wheelie and not wear helmets when they use public roads regardless of the weather and road conditions.
During the month of September a 22-year old man lost his life due to a scooter collision.
