Illegal drifting stunt at Linopetra roundabout causes traffic chaos in Limassol

A video circulating on social media shows a racing car performing dangerous drifts at the Linopetra roundabout in Limassol, Cyprus. The incident, which was posted online on November 2, 2026, appears to be part of a wedding celebration, as evidenced by the caption "Just Married." Footage shows tow trucks positioned to block the roundabout's exits, preventing normal traffic flow while the driver performed stunts amidst ignited flares and fireworks.

Numerous drivers were trapped in their vehicles during the performance, with videos capturing long queues of cars and the sound of constant honking. While the Limassol traffic police initially stated they had not received formal complaints, the police press office later confirmed that authorities are aware of the footage and have launched an investigation into the incident. The dangerous display, which involved people standing on the road, has sparked public outrage due to the risk posed to other motorists and bystanders.
