The checks were undertaken at the request of the State Prosecutor, as provided for by Article 12, paragraph 3, subparagraph 8 of the amended law of 14 February 1955 on the regulation of traffic on all public roads.

A total of 595 motorists were subjected to a preliminary breath test, even in the absence of any serious indication.
In four cases, the test proved positive and two reports were drawn up, while in the other two cases, fixed penalty notices were issued.
Six offences relating to vehicle documents were recorded, including the expiry of the roadworthiness test in four cases. In the other two cases, either the driver was unable to produce a valid registration certificate or was driving with an expired tax disc.
