President Pavel apologizes for riding motorbike without helmet

President Petr Pavel has come under fire for violating traffic regulations by riding a motorcycle without a helmet.  CNN Prima News on Thursday showed a video sent in by a viewer who recorded the incident close to the president’s summer residence. The president later apologized on Twitter for having broken the rules, saying that he generally adhered to all safety regulations and had only gone without it on a short journey to a gas station on a side road. He said he would try to make up for the transgression by donating money to help motorcyclists injured in accidents. The police cannot fine him due to presidential immunity.
