304
Drunk Drivers And Counting In December
Despite the harsh sanctions against drinking
and driving, the Policía de Tránsito report
detaining 304 drunk drivers for December.
And for that reason and the exodus of
vacationers to the beaches and resorts, the
Tránsito patrols will be increased on all
highways.
Speeding is another concern of the Tránsitos
(traffic officials).
Germán Marín, the director of the Policía de
Tránsito, assures that there is a zero
tolerance in effect, with respect to drunk
drivers and speeders.
Tránsito officials will also be keeping an
eye open to detect drivers who refuse to use
their seatbelt and/or insist on talking on
their cellular telephone.
Marín reports that of the 29 traffic
fatalities, one third were caused by drunk
drivers.
Luis Vega, Tránsito director for the Gran
Área Metropolitana (GAM), said that traffic
officials will be posted along all the major
exists from the San José and the Central
Valley to points in Guanacaste, Limón, the
northern and southern zones.
Vega added that traffic officials will also
be posted near locations where year end
parties are ongoing, to stop drunk drivers
before they cause a tragedy.
