In normal cases, motor enthusiasts gather for a car meet and a short drive through town during the Car & Bike Meet Askersund. This year there will be none of that as the gathering does not meet the requirements that are in place to reduce the spread of the corona virus.

Information on social media

Nevertheless, the police suspect that people will gather in Askersund during the afternoon and evening.

- We have taken this into account and we will be there. They do not have permission to conduct the car meeting, but we have been told via social media that it will probably gather people for a curtge anyway, says Johan Wallenius, the police officer on duty.

Organizer does not support

Those behind the event, Midnight cruisers Askersund, write on social media that they do not support any spontaneous cruising.

"We urge people to stay home and wait for 2021 years of car and bike meet," they conclude the post.
