The police carried out a new speed control operation throughout Belgium on Tuesday. Of the 340,664 motorists checked, 6.19% were driving too fast, the federal police said in a press release on Friday. This percentage is an increase compared to previous “speed control marathons”.
More than 120 police zones took part in this 19th edition between Tuesday 6:00 a.m. and Wednesday same time. Exceeding the authorized speed, however, seemed less significant than during other similar actions, since among the speeding drivers, only thirteen licenses were withdrawn. A year ago, 318 license withdrawals were ordered. At the time, however, more than twice as many people had been checked: 792,546 compared to 340,664 last Tuesday.
