Traffic conditions and road works in progress can be sufficiently nasty for drivers in downtown Porto, especially during peak summer months. Most policemen we saw around were, like us, riding a motorcycle for easier circulation. Their vehicles are not always in mint conditions, in front of a police station I saw a couple of bad specimen. These were parked next to a literal pile of junk bikes tossed against a car, which was also in poor conditions, and I believe these vehicles were seized ones.

Review Helpfulness: 2.5 out of 5 stars
