Motorcyclists like the rest of the drivers of other types of vehicles must respect traffic laws, but they walk at ease, violating all the recommendations made by specialists on the subject. And the most painful exposing lives. We share some cares and tips for those who prefer motorcycles to get around and do not understand the scope of their responsibility.

A large number of motorcycles are driven by people who believe they have the power to violate any traffic law in their path. Let's see some data that you should know not only in Asunción but in the interior, where the number of bicycles exceeds any calculation.

Fernando Machuca, director of Transit and transportation of the municipality, recalls that "one lane can be occupied by up to two motorcycles, one next to the other. But the reality is that more than six circulate, and their occupants are even talking. The maximum speed is 40 to 50 km / h in the city, caution must always be observed, and the conditions of the moment. On the other hand, we see that they invade the left lane, not to overtake but to run at whatever speed they want".

Motorcycles, as well as cars, must be driven taking into account the preferential roads. "An anecdotal issue is that in Montevideo and Estrella, people normally think that Estrella is preferential, but there the regulations take into account the hierarchy of the streets. It is a point where there were many accidents, one per month", he mentioned.

And he added, "the one who comes from the right has a preference. If there were two streets, one paved and the other paved, the preferred one is the one with asphalt", all these rules that seem obvious are ignored or neglected by drivers.

And he continued with more examples: "When you go down a two-way street, you give preference to the one-way street. You have to stop, for example, at Peña two-way street where another one-way street crosses, you have to stop there".

To consider a "Stop", it is attended if there is a sign if there is a traffic agent or a traffic light.

Enabling the vehicle

This inspection is used to know if the motorcycle is in good condition as well as the cars. "The inspection detects the failures and they have to re-pass the test," he said.

with a snorer, slippers, and no vest

Florentin Jiménez, the general coordinator of the city's Transit and Transportation Directorate, emphasizes that it is forbidden to drive with the snorer, it is a fault. He also talked about driving in sneakers, which exposes you to accidents and what to say if they go without a reflective vest.

"Driving with shoes and without a vest is very dangerous. There were cases in which the accelerator was pressed, or the foot stuck. Leaving the ankles and knees uncovered increases the likelihood of abrasion. Needless to say, if they go without a helmet on their heads", he pointed out.
