In winter, it is
not only cold, but dark. At the time of going to work or college, the sun is
not always up and at night, at the time of debauchery, it is sometimes already
lying down. This early December was therefore the ideal time to carry out the
operations that took place Thursday and yesterday before the colleges.
The police station
had put the package by hiring a dozen officials under the command of Major
Luray, head of the public order and road safety unit, as well as
officials of the municipal police of these three communes.
And the result is
edifying: on the two days of this operation of road safety very targeted, since
concentrated on bicycles, 60% of the 62 cycles controlled, were not in
conformity. The drivers of these two-wheelers have all received convocation for
a subsequent presentation of their bikes after compliance. All except one, who
won the pompom, since it was verbalized for crossing red lights in the red
phase, on a non-compliant cycle, with a phone held in hand. "The total ..."
sighs Major Luray frowning.
"I am
surprised by the lack of information from these two-wheelers. So we gave them
an explanatory leaflet to drive safely, but also yellow vests for the
purpose of being seen by other road users. These control operations will be renewed
periodically ", warns the police still reassured by the" very good
reception reserved for the agents by the schoolboys who understood that our
operation was made for their security ". As for the heads of institutions,
they applauded with both hands this intervention beneficial for all and could
see that in the corridors, the students spoke only about that...
