In order to comply with traffic regulations in the national territory, the Government of El Salvador through the Land Transit Division of the National Civil Police (PNC) and the Vice Ministry of Transportation (VMT) installed anti-doping controls .
Breathalyzer tests were also carried out to identify and remove dangerous drivers from circulation.
It should be noted that the driver who is detected with 50 to 99 degrees of alcohol in exhaled breath receives a fine of $57.14, while whoever exceeds 100 degrees is detained to be sent to bartolinas to face due process for the crime of dangerous driving ( Art. 147-E of the Penal Code).
“I think it’s good, it’s a very good idea to avoid accidents. It is good that it is weekly, more than all on Fridays and Saturdays. Let’s try the way to walk the documents in order and not drink, that’s what it’s all about, “said driver Rubén Orantes about the control, who also submitted to the process.
These actions resulted in detainees by the PNC, for example Saúl Antonio Chicas Flores, who registered 211 milligrams per deciliter of alcohol after undergoing an anti-doping test while riding a motorcycle without carrying a license.
