Over 160 Road Checks During Holidays On Maltese Roads

Jan 1 2024

As many of us celebrated the beginning of 2024, the Malta Police Force was hard at work with inspections on Maltese roads to make sure that drivers were safe.

The force reported that up until last night, over 160 road checks took place on our roads, with over 4,500 vehicles being stopped.

During these inspections, 600 drivers were fined for violating traffic regulations. These included driving without a license, use of mobile phones, speeding, lack of seat belt use as well as illegal tinted windows.

Thankfully, no accidents were reported on the first night of the year of 2024. No serious road accidents were even reported during the holidays.

The Malta Police Force, along with Transport Malta, will continue these inspections, but urged the public to continue to drive safe to avoid any accidents and tragedies.

The Most Googled Sex Questions In 2023

Dec 31 2023

These were some of the most googled sex related questions during the year 2023.

‘What is speed bump sex position?’

Going viral on TikTok, this is reportedly a variation on doggy style. Being touted as a Love Island favourite for one contestant, it involves having a person ‘led face down instead of on their knees, with a pillow underneath their hips to raise their pelvis’.

‘What does non-binary mean in a relationship?’

It is typically understood as a relationship that doesn’t abide by the typical gender binary.

The third was ‘What is ethically non-monogamous?’, followed by ‘what does exclusive mean in a relationship?’

The former involves two people who identify as a couple but who are not committed to a traditional relationship (as per CNN).

The latter simply means that both partners agree to focus on each other and not see other people.
