No,
what it says, there were more law breakers in Larnaca then Paphos. another factor how many traffic cops were on duty at each town?

Maybe there were more Police out in Larnaca than Paphos.. who knows. But I have s=to say that it was a good result for the Larnaca Police

When I have travelled on the Intercity bus between Limassol & Pafos at certain times, it takes a short stop at a village (Episkopiana) where police get on and off the bus. Whether this is to diversify the force to ensure not too much favouritism, I don't know.

Paphos police have now put in a request for faster cars. Apparently, they couldn't outrun the speeding cars they were chasing...

Yes, but not residents of Pafos. Episkopiana is closer to Limassol.

I was talking-to a traffic police officer and he told my there not trained in pursuit driving.

So what chance do they have of catching a good high speed driver NONE!

And they want to put them in powerful cars!
