During a recent media briefing, the spokesperson for the Republican police announced an intensification of crackdowns on traffic violations.

The Republican police are firm on enforcing traffic laws. The second phase of the operation will begin at the end of April. In preparation for this phase, the Republican police are urging kings, royalty, and guardians of tradition to be prepared so as not to break the law.

Often, kings and royalty tend to believe that helmet requirements do not apply to them. However, according to the spokesperson for the Republican police, the measure applies to all citizens without exception.

“Every king, every tribal chief, or every traditional leader is required to wear a helmet when driving. Otherwise, they should buy a vehicle,” the police spokesperson affirmed, as reported by L’Investigateur.

As usual, guardians of tradition have considered themselves as separate citizens. However, they are now being warned that they must wear their helmet when riding a motorcycle.
