Alghero, fake belts and cell phone driving: rain of fines

Too many motorists without seat belts and cell phones in hand . So the local police set up control services in Alghero with motorcyclists in civilian clothes .

In recent weeks , dozens of fake belt hooks have been seized , devices that prevent the annoying sound signal from being triggered, and the same number of penalties have been imposed. Who is caught with the phone in hand automatically loses even 5 points from the driving license .

The service, warns the commander Matteo Bertocchi, will also continue in the next few days.

On Friday alone, plainclothes officers intervened for three violations involving the use of cell phones and one for the seat belt .
