Checkpoint is still there, but they were busy with a truck that was stopped so didn’t stop us.

There is a lot of police stops on this road to Malawi and they might stop you if you overspeed or overtake vehicles in a no passing area. In 2 places they tried to stop us but we just crused trough, pretending we don't understand what they want. Tired of those guys.

Passed this point twice, no problems. Could just drive through.

Once again the same thing as stated on other police checkpoints around :
- they show you on their phone a photo of your car with a fake red number side of it (in our case 67) and claim it was a 50kmh zone.
- we told them we knew their trick and showed on IOverlander that they are well know for this.
- then we said their phone was not a validated device and that we asked for a photo on a validated device with also the report of the last calibration and the calibration date
- they were very surprised and pretended that they could call the officer to bring the proof but then they would have to fine us.
- « OK please do ».
- very surprised again. Repeated same thing.
- I said again OK please do.
- then they said to follow them on foot, that they would bring me to the officer.
- said no problem.
- they bring me to a random car and saw that I was ready and not willing to grease them.
- so they finally said « OK you can go, I forgive you ».

We left without having to pay. Which is another proof they are corrupted and had no proof whatsoever of an over speed.
