Traffic police in northern Israel have summoned a motorcyclist for trial after he was observed driving with both feet on the handlebars and without holding them with his hands. A traffic police officer, off-duty with his family, spotted the dangerous maneuver on Road 4. The motorcyclist noticed he was being filmed by someone in the officer's car, gave a thumbs-up gesture, and continued his reckless ride. Despite the officer signaling him to pull over, the motorcyclist ignored the command. The video footage was sent to investigators who identified and apprehended the driver. He faces charges including reckless driving, not holding the handlebars with both hands, driving with feet in an unsafe position, and driving on the shoulder. The scooter was confiscated as evidence. This action is part of a joint campaign by traffic police and the National Road Safety Authority aimed at reducing road accidents and fatalities through increased traffic patrols across Israel.
