11 Drunk Drivers Lost
Their Vehicles During
Festival Imperial
Saturday and Sunday more
than 50.000 people took
part in the Festival
Imperial held in La
Guacima, Alajuela,
making the festival a
total success.
On hand at the festival
were also officials of
the Policía de Tránsito
who kept an eye on
drivers to and from the
event.
According to the Policía
de Tránsito director,
Germán Martín, 250
traffic tickets were
issued over the weekend,
23 of which for over the
legal and 11 vehicles
were confiscated at the
hands of drunk drivers.
In addition to the
drinking and driving
problems, Martín added
that a number of tickets
were issued to drivers
of vehicles that did not
have the annual
inspection certificate
known as Riteve, driving
with bad or no lights
and driving without a
license.
Martín said that the
majority of the drunk
drivers were pulled over
near the Panasonic plant
in San Antonio de Belén
and on the Alajuela-San
José section of the
autopista General Cañas.
On the positive side,
Martín commented that
the numbers of tickets
and drunk drivers were
surprisingly low given
the large number of
vehicles that visited
the autdromo La Guacima
between Saturday and
Sunday.
"People for once paid
attention, using
designated drivers,
travelling by bus or
taxi", said Marín.
