Jávea police fine driver after man rides on car roof
In the coastal town of Jávea, Spain, a man was filmed sitting on the roof of a moving car while the vehicle travelled in normal traffic. A witness reported the scene to local police, who described the act as a serious road‑safety offence. The driver was issued a fine and had points removed from his licence, and an investigation for a road‑safety crime was opened. Police noted that the behaviour endangers both the person on the roof and other road users. The incident, which was shared on social media, echoes a similar 2018 case in Jávea where two girls performed the same stunt, prompting the same police warning.
