The police presented an initial assessment of their two-wheeler control campaign. It also announces the continuation of the operation.
In one month, from June 20 to July 19, the Luxembourg police carried out nearly 2,600 two-wheeler checks. About 600 offenses resulted.
Among the discrepancies observed, the police counted 85 speeding violations and 60 queuing up during a traffic jam or slow traffic. About thirty motorcyclists rode their bikes with a helmet that was not approved and 100 had a lighting fault on their two-wheelers. There are also 80 cases of too noisy exhaust and 72 motorcyclists who circulate without having a reflective vest.
"Motorcyclists are particularly vulnerable road users" because they are less protected than a motorist when traveling, details the police.
Checks will continue throughout the summer, especially on sections of road heavily used by two-wheelers, the authorities say.
