Pity if MP’s are watering down the increased charges for these serious driving offences, as if they were left as they were previously, more people might be shocked into behaving responsibly when driving. I think that cars parked on bends and those parked in disabled spaces should be given the full weight of these fines..or towed away.
Unfortunately, hitting offenders hard in their pockets may be the only way that they can be persuaded to obey the law!

If you followed the link to In-Cyprus, then followed a link there, you would get here:

This is what I think Dee is referring to.

I generally drive 3 times a week east coast to Pafos return same day. Since the New Year the number of police speed traps has risen and so far have seen 3 different unmarked police cars pull people up for speeding.

Just seen the comments. It is just as Dominic posted.You need to read Paphos Life’s post Mike and Trev, then click on the links which take you eventually to the article in ‘In Cyprus’. If you have done this first, them my post will make sense.
