Cyclists monitored by officersThe article discusses a traffic enforcement operation conducted by inter-municipal police officers in Železniki, Slovenia, focusing on cyclists' compliance with designated cycling infrastructure. According to Slovenian law, cyclists must use bike paths, lanes, or routes where available, and if not, they must stay on the right side of the road. During a heightened surveillance period in June and early July 2026, 25 violations were recorded. The operation aimed to raise awareness among cyclists about proper behavior and safety for all road users. Officials noted that licensed cyclists can use regional roads even with existing cycling connections, while recreational cyclists cannot. A fine of 40 euros is imposed for violating these rules. The article also mentions that last year, MIR recorded 16,749 traffic violations across three municipalities, with most related to stationary traffic.

DnevnikIndependent🔒CenterFactual 95Objective 908/14/2026A 23-year-old British footballer, Conor Charlton, has been sentenced to four years in prison after being caught speeding with his BMW X3 M, reaching speeds of up to 307 km/h. Multiple video recordings show him dangerously overtaking other vehicles, accelerating to 253 km/h, and performing risky maneuvers while being filmed by another person. One clip shows him suddenly changing direction, nearly causing a collision. Police discovered falsified incident reports on his phone attempting to shift blame onto another driver. Data from his car revealed he had exceeded the speed limit eight times in the previous year. The court concluded his vehicle was likely modified to remove speed limits. In addition to the prison sentence, he received a four-year driving ban and must retake his license test if he wishes to drive again.
