Footage showing horse racing down the Mrieħel bypass went viral locally on social media on Sunday morning.

The horses are seen racing along both lanes of one of the carriageways, holding up traffic.

The race goes past a speed camera - which alas is not used for this sort of illegality.

The footage was uploaded on Sunday to Malta Dizastru TOTALI https://www.facebook.com/the1mdt/videos/2327067100638559/
