The motorbikes too have to observe the rules.\u201d<\/p>\n COP Rose Bio Atinga assured that the operation will not be “a nine day wonder” , insisting they will continue.<\/p>\n “We want to advise the motorbike riders that if they want to use our roads, they should make sure that they observe the traffic regulations. They have decided not to abide by the traffic regulations so we\u2019ve arrested them. We will check and see whether they have the riding license, we will make sure that their motorbikes are roadworthy and are insured and those at\u00a0fault will be processed for court.\u201d<\/p>\n This is not the first time the Police is embarking on such an operation.\u00a0Some\u00a0offenders who\u00a0were\u00a0nabbed in previous exercises have not been prosecuted.<\/p>\n –<\/p>\n By: Godwin A.
