The Motor Vehicles Department (MVD) has registered over 200 cases in Alappuzha district under Operation Race, a special drive conducted recently to rein in speeding and illegal alteration of motorcycles.
Officials said here on Monday that the drive was carried out in the wake of increasing accidents and violations involving motorbikes, especially high-end superbikes. Apart from registering cases, seizing two-wheelers and slapping fines, officials said they had initiated measures to revoke the registration certificates of vehicles and driving licences of riders caught for serious violations.
Apart from registering cases for overspeeding and alteration of vehicles, motorists were booked for non-display or faulty display of number plates, and reckless riding among other traffic violations.
