At the end of May, the Latvian State Police published a video of a police chase involving a motorcyclist. The chase began in Bauska and continued to Ķekava municipality. The rider not only exceeded the speed limit but also ignored police orders to stop and created dangerous situations on the road. An investigation revealed that he had covered several characters of his license plate to hide it.

The offender turned out to be an Estonian citizen. In Latvia, he received a substantial fine and a temporary suspension of his driving privileges. However, according to the source, the same man continues to ride his motorcycle in Estonia and possibly other countries. This raises the question of how a person whose license has been revoked in Latvia can legally drive elsewhere.
