Catania, no insurance and driving without a helmet: “rain” of fines and kidnappings

Catania – The balance in Catania of four days of checks by the Municipal Police is 140 minutes for infringements of the rules of the Highway Code, 37 seizures of vehicles for insurance uncovering and 41 administrative stops of motor vehicles for driving without a helmet. In total, 300 vehicles were checked. The most frequently contested offenses were the absence of compulsory insurance coverage, the driving of mopeds or motorcycles without a protective helmet, the omitted periodic vehicle inspection, driving without a license and the lack of possession of the circulation and driving documents. In 14 cases, the intervention of motorcyclists was necessary because as many road users had ignored the invitation of the operating agents to stop the movement of their vehicle to undergo the control. After being joined by the centaurs, they received an additional report of 85 euros with a 3-point deduction from the driving license. On the front of the contrast of the wild stop, with the collaboration of the tow trucks of the Sostare, the removal of a hundred cars was carried out.
