The case was finalized by social networks and reached the ears of the Conaset, from where they indicated that the part taken is illegal.
That is the question that Matías Bahamonde, 23 years old, has after Friday when he went out for a ride in Temuco on his motorcycle and was fined by Carabineros for not wearing a reflective vest.
"I was on my way to Labranza when I ran into a couple of police officers who performed a routine check, they asked me for the papers and since I had everything in order and in good order, I remained calm," the young man explained to LUN.
He added that "we were finishing when they look at each other and ask each other: 'What do we do with the reflective vest? Did we pass the infraction or not?' The Carabineros were not clear what to do."
Bahamonde indicated that at the crossroads, one of the carabineros decided to take the radio and ask, obtaining a "yes" answer, so he must appear at the local police court on January 12.
His case was viralized by social networks and reached the ears of the National Traffic Safety Commission, who confirmed through their Twitter account, that the part taken is illegal.
Despite the clarification of Conaset, the doubts regarding this issue are due to the fact that article 75 of the modified decree 164 of the Ministry of Transport does not specify which vehicles the vest must have.
It should be remembered that the only obligations of motorcyclists' clothing are those that appear in decrees 231 and 234 of the Traffic Law, which is related to the biker's clothing and the use of a reflective helmet.
