A Geneva policeman is facing further disciplinary action after he rode a powerful e-bike to work while banned from driving because of drink-driving.
The officer was using a bike that’s capable of travelling more than 45 kph, so a licence is needed.

He wasn’t caught riding on the road – but admitted bringing the bike to work to colleagues – as they’re police officers, he was reported.
