New traffic law: motorcyclist wear safety vest will be safer

Motorcycle riders are the most clueless with the new traffic law.

Yesterday was quite normal driving without retro reflective clothing and no lights on their vehicles to see.

Both are requirements circulation any time of day and disrespect carries a fine of ¢ 47,000 for each violation.

Diego Herrera, director of the Traffic Police, confirmed that the non-use of safety vest or any other suit was one of the repeated violations s yesterday.

Furthermore, it is common to see that drivers take advantage of the dams to advance in the middle of the road.

Under the new traffic rule, who forth between lines of vehicles more than 25 kilometers per hour is exposed to a fine of ¢ 94,000.

The new provisions do not like at all drivers who complain of being forced to use safety devices at all times.

However, Silvia, director of the Road Safety Council, explained that the use of this device throughout the day approved the recommendation of the Motorcycle Importers Association.

"As there are sunny days, there is very dark or rainy days, when clarity is drastically reduced and it is necessary to make them visible," said Bolanos.

It is planned that next Tuesday discusses the regulations with the specifications of the retro reflective vest; then it would take public consultation (through publication in La Gaceta) and is expected to govern two weeks later.

Another complaint is that motorcyclists are forced to turn on the lights at any time and that represents an additional expense of battery. But Bolanos said the battery of the bike "generates one, and there is no justification for saying that consumption increases."
