President Nayib Bukele reaffirms good results in security strategies in El Salvador

In response to a complaint received from the mayor’s office of Santa Tecla, in La Libertad, the Vice Ministry of Transportation (VMT) applied 10 fines to the driver of a pick-up with P 45 D7A plates for various violations, for which he must pay $434.30.

The offenses were captured by the surveillance camera of the Tecleña mayor’s office, in which it is observed that the pick-up moves in the opposite direction when the traffic light is red and endangers the lives of other road users.

In addition, he overtook a vehicle when another was coming in the opposite direction. «Always obeying traffic signs will avoid accidents. The case has already been notified to the VMT so that they can apply the respective violation. In Santa Tecla everything is recorded,” the mayor’s office published on the X social network.

According to the institution, the violations committed against traffic regulations are: not respecting the vehicle line ($34.29); get into the wrong lane on the side of the street to start the journey ($34.29); failure to respect the right of way ($34.29); not granting the right of way to pedestrians ($34.29).

Also not respecting caution signs ($34.29); stopping over pedestrian safety zones ($34.29); backing up or making maneuvers on busy roads ($57.14); driving the wrong way ($57.14); not respecting the red traffic light ($57.14), and overtaking a vehicle when another is coming in the opposite direction and said maneuver causes danger ($57.14).

“He must pay $434.30 in fines for all the violations committed, which endangered his life and that of other road users,” indicated the VMT.

The 10 infractions were imposed through the new digital fine system that the VMT has implemented to strengthen the control of road space.

On the other hand, the VMT managers sanctioned a driver on route 3, whose brake lights did not work in the western area. However, upon receiving the note, the motorist tore the sheet and threw it away, for which he was charged with two traffic violations.
