A police officer on a private trip with his family observed a scooter rider on Highway 4 in northern Israel with both feet on the handlebars and not holding them with his hands. When the rider noticed he was being filmed by someone in the officer's vehicle, he gave a thumbs-up gesture and continued his dangerous ride. The officer signaled for him to pull over, but the rider did not comply. The video was immediately forwarded to investigators from the National Traffic Division's Central Unit. The driver was identified and summoned for questioning regarding reckless driving, failing to maintain control of the handlebars with both hands, riding with feet not on either side of the scooter, and driving on the shoulder of the road. The driver received a summons to court, and his scooter was confiscated as evidence.
