Police said that there were two breaches of the condition of a Provisional Driver’s Licence, while four individuals failed to produce their Driver’s Licence when requested. Additionally, two cases involved unlicensed drivers, and two others related to the breaches of insurance regulations.
Notably, 16 violations were noted for failure to meet prescribed fitness conditions for vehicles. Safety was also compromised, with 14 individuals failing to wear safety helmets and three pillion riders traveling without helmets.

To this end, five arrests were made while 20 revocations of fitnesses were recorded. Seventeen motorcycles and two motorcars were also lodged.
