Key Points

  • Riders hit 55 km/h in 25 km/h zone while filming vlog from Pas de la Casa to Sant Julià.
  • Police detected speed via radar on downhill, noted riding in road center.
  • Creators claimed 25 km/h limit with inertia excess; officers opted for warning.
  • Instructed to use edges, wear vests; riders praised 'great cops'.

Police in Andorra stopped two content creators riding electric scooters at 55 km/h in a 25 km/h zone while they filmed a vlog crossing the country from Pas de la Casa to Sant Julià de Lòria, issuing a warning instead of fines.

The incident occurred as the riders, including Jutrax who posted the footage online, travelled through a section where they rode down the middle of the road. Officers pulled them over after detecting the excessive speed on a downhill stretch. Video from the encounter showed one scooter reaching 49 km/h, though Jutrax explained to police that the devices were set to a 25 km/h limit and any higher reading resulted from "inertia" on the descent.

Agents confirmed the 55 km/h radar reading and stressed that such speeds were not allowed, particularly in the road's centre. After the riders described their vlog challenge, police reviewed the circumstances and chose not to impose penalties, noting bike lanes available in parts of the route. They instructed the pair to stay to the edges of the carriageway, wear reflective vests, and avoid the middle of the road.

Jutrax said they would purchase reflectants in the town centre as darkness fell. The creators apologised, received well-wishes for their project from the officers, and resumed their journey to Sant Julià. Jutrax later praised the police on camera, describing them as "great cops."
