On June 3 at 14:40, two foreigners were spotted riding two black three-wheeled motorcycles on a Shanxi expressway between Huangzhai Village and Yangqu Town. A third foreigner was sitting in the backseat of one of the motorcycles holding a card that read “Shanxi Provincial Expressway Transit Card”.
It was later discovered that the two bikes were without license plates, and the three foreigners, who were from France and Italy, were without drivers’ licences. They had originally set off from Beijing and had entered Shanxi from the tollgate at Sunqi Village, and were heading in the direction of Luliang for a holiday.
After getting in touch with the transport authorities, the reporter who spotted the foreigners was told that three-wheeled motorcycles weren’t allowed to go on the expressway, though explained that they must have obtained the transit card when they passed through the tollgate at Sunqi. Despite authorities’ assumptions however, they were unable to find any record of where and when they obtained the card.

So what are we saying here? Suddenly some form of road rules apply in China? Oh yeah, they're foreigners. Silly me, of course.

There is no evidence whatsoever that says the foreigners were "ripping it up". The headline of the article is clearly sensationalised. The fact that they were foreigners is probably the only reason they were stopped. @Guest you obviously don't understand sarcasm.
