Highway traffic: the ten most frequent offenses in Mauritius
Speeding, failure to present a driver's license at the request of the police, use of the mobile phone while driving ... These are all traffic violations committed by motorists. Here are the ten most common offenses.
1 Speeding

This is certainly a drop compared to 2018 (with 87,408 tickets), but the figure is significant. This means that 81,691 Mauritians were still unaware of the danger of speed.
