MARIGOT---The gendarmes conducted several road and traffic controls during this month in order to maintain the traffic laws. The idea was for them to identify the vehicle owners that are using public roads recklessly and are a danger to other road users. Some of the vehicles controlled are heavy vehicles. Drivers who were caught with more than six percent of the maximum weight were fined 135 Euros for the offence.The controlling officers were also looking for drivers who drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Drivers who tested positive for drug use had their drivers' license revoked by the public prosecutor.
