Drivers of private cars, motorcycles and trucks are the most violated traffic rules.

Between January and May 28 this year, the traffic police in uniform with reflective tape surprised some 186,390 citizens who mocked standard vial in Bogota.

This means that, on average, every hour uniformed imposed some 52 subpoenas in the city without special concentration localities

Although Colonel John Rodriguez, commander of the Bogota Transit Police says that the figures are maintained for 2013, it argues that the main infringements are committed by what he calls “social indiscipline and carelessness.”

In fact, on top of more breaches committed in the capital, the first is for drivers who had overcome the technical-mechanical revision of its vehicles: 22,194 subpoenas were imposed as a result.

“Unfortunately some people are not careful with these types of cases and know that in addition to risk a fine, are risking their lives and those of others,” said Rodriguez.

Motorcyclists are the protagonists of the second infringement more record that the soldiers identify with the C-24 code: “Driving a motorcycle without observing the rules established by the National Traffic Code.” For these situation 19,310 fines, ie, an average of 130 per day is reported.

“Some riders think they can go wherever they want, ‘noted the officer. Most offenses they commit are taken for transit zigzag between cars, go disallowed sites, walking through the platforms and mobilize fast lane when carrying barbecue “.

Although the latter rule is not as well known by drivers of motorcycles, the commander of the traffic police in reflective vest highlights one of the principles of law: “Ignorance of the law does not excuse compliance.”

Do not try too hard to find automobile parked in prohibited places. Besides the risk of theft is involved (more than 90 percent of thefts of cars taken for pulling, i.e. when drivers leave their vehicles alone), this year more than 18,500 of them a fine took and took third Instead of listing.

Those who mock the peak and plate or passing through restricted areas, as -only lanes TransMilenio cite one example, also have a place in the list of offenders. Just over 16,200 were the authors.

The next station of the ladder is for all those drivers who do not obey the signals or orders of the traffic police. Exactly 8.314 subpoenas were applied to them.

Imprudence occurs most often has to do with people who have no problem talking on cell phones or using other communication systems go hands free when driving.

Thanks to this, 7,471 people made this infringement occupied sixth place in the top, the cyclists or pedestrians cannot escape. They are responsible of 7,452 subpoenas. Transit officials said, the ordinary citizens who cross streets at unauthorized places are the most common. As users of the bikes, there are few who move between cars, and risk their lives.

Likewise, those who do not wear safety elements such as helmets or safety vest with reflective tape, also exposed to a policeman catch their attention.

The eighth section is for drivers who inadvertently or simply because they are licensed dare to take the helm. More than 6,750 cases have been detected by the police.

There is also room for that purpose by forgetting or stop using seat belts. Exactly 4,452 were fined for exposing their lives that way.

And the top 10 they shut those who had no problem going down a street in contra via: 3,812.
