The Local Police of Catral have ramped up their traffic controls in a bid to ensure the safety of all residents. Recently, officers noted a concerning rise in drivers exhibiting reckless behaviour and operating vehicles that have undergone unauthorized modifications. Such actions present significant risks not only to drivers but also to pedestrians.

In the course of these intensified checks, several vehicles received penalties for not meeting the requirements of the Vehicle Inspection Test, also known as ITV. Additionally, some were found to lack the obligatory motor insurance essential for legal operation on public roads.

One vehicle was particularly notable, as it was immobilised and towed due to eleven serious faults and five illegal modifications discovered during the inspection. This highlights the severe nature of the infractions some drivers are committing.

The Local Police emphasise that these illegal practices jeopardise the safety of everyone on the road. They urge vehicle owners to ensure that any modifications adhere strictly to established safety regulations, both in active and passive measures, to preserve the well-being of the entire community.
