Traffic police have beefed up and raised the frequency of their patrols over the Assumption Day holiday weekend as thousands travel to and from coastal resorts and the Troodos mountains.
In two separate cases during night checks on the Larnaca-Limassol and Kofinou-Larnaca highways, they charged two people for speeding and other related offences.
Around eight a a driver was flagged down as he was ‘flying’ on 185 kilometres an hour on a 100 km limit zone. The 31 year old had no driving license or insurance certificate.
He was charged in writing and released to be called before a district court at a later stage.
Around half an hour later, a 50 year man was flagged down for driving at 135km an hour. His license had expired and he tested positive in a narc test.
He was arrested and released, only to be re-arrested shortly afterwards, as officers discovered pending fines.
Aradippou and Kophinou stations are investigating.
