Traffic Safety

Ayalon District police officers confiscated dozens of vehicles and took cars off the road, but one driver who was stopped at a checkpoint while completely drunk left them stunned due to the exceptional figure discovered in his test.

Traffic police officers were deployed on Highway 60 in the south as part of an operation against speeding. A 19-year-old new driver was caught driving at 201 km/h in a 90 km/h zone, attempted to escape by turning off his vehicle's lights, and was subsequently arrested.

Amid the public debate surrounding speed cameras, many have speculated about a "secret police fund." In reality, the mechanism works differently. "HaMashrokik" explains.

Driving instructors were documented using mobile phones and committing distracted driving offenses during driving lessons, the police reported. The documentation was part of an intensified enforcement operation conducted on Thursday across the country against life-threatening traffic violations.
