In Thessaloniki, local traffic authorities are conducting rigorous checks focused on reckless driving behaviors, particularly related to speeding and driving under the influence of alcohol. In this context, a 25-year-old man was apprehended early in the morning for exceeding the speed limit significantly by driving at 186 km/h on the national road from Thessaloniki to Nea Moudania, where the legal speed limit is set at 90 km/h.
Additionally, another individual, a 41-year-old man, was also arrested for drunk driving in the Toumpa area. Police conducted breathalyzer tests on him, revealing blood alcohol levels of 0.92 and 0.86 mg/l, exceeding legal limits.
