Crash helmet drive

THE Guardia Civil yesterday launched its most intensive crash helmet campaign ever in the Balearics to enforce the law and make sure both motorcycle riders and passengers wear their helmets. Over the next few weeks, spot checks are going to be mounted on roads across the islands and points are going to be docked from licences if drivers are caught ignoring the law and maximum fines of 300 euros are also going to be handed out. Repeat offenders face losing their licence.
