Formula 1 racing may not have come to Greece yet but a recent slew of traffic convictions on the island of Crete — over 1,400 in one weekend — suggest dangerous driving is rampant on the Mediterranean island.
Police figures released Monday state that between Saturday and Sunday, 156 checkpoints targeting nearly 3,900 vehicles resulted in a wave of infringements.
There were 136 cases of speeding, 179 of non-use of seat belts and 71 of driving while under the influence.
Sixty-six drivers were busted for operating their vehicle while using a cellphone, 47 for bad overtaking, 35 for dangerous maneuvers and 16 for not stopping at the red light.
