Report: Speeding in built-up areas most common traffic violation

Speeding in built-up areas is the most common traffic violation by Czech drivers, accounting for 25 percent of all traffic violations, according to a report by the Czech Interior Ministry released on Sunday. It is followed by disrespecting traffic signs and failure to fasten seat belts or wear helmets. Other frequent violations include driving without headlights on and making phone calls while driving. Since July 2006, where a points system was introduced in the Czech Republic, some 26,000 drivers lost their licences because of traffic violations. Most drivers who scored 12 or more points are 21-years-old and younger.
