Over 5,000 traffic offences were registered in the first quarter
in Macao, a city with some 250,000 licensed vehicles, according to
official statistics issued Monday.
The figures from the Public Security Police showed that more
than 4,200 of the offences concerned speeding.
Due to the rising number of cases of "illegal racing," police
officers are increasingly equipped with portable speed detectors,
local media reported.
