For the weekend of the Ascension, motorized gendarmerie units of the Orne department conducted numerous inspections.
The Weekend of the Ascension, was very busy on the roads for the extended weekend and with the extra traffic from the motorcycle Grand Prix at Le Mans, these are the two good reasons for the police to ensure visibility on the roads and amplify the controls.
