Street racing

Police on Wednesday arrested three drivers engaged in street racing at speeds exceeding 140km/h on coastal Poseidonos Avenue in Athens' southern Palaio Faliro district.

Traffic officers impounded the vehicles of the drivers, aged 19, 31 and 34, who had exceeded the speed limit by over 80km/h.

After receiving significant numbers of complaints from angry residents, traffic police in Skopje say they have already started arresting street racers who breach the peace and cause potential dangers at night-time and weekends.

"We are determined to establish traffic order and that's that," said Biljana Milevska from the Skopje police force.
