This weekend, the General Directorate of Traffic (DGT) once again launches a specific campaign on the roads most frequented by motorists in order to control compliance with the most important regulations that affect motorcycle driving. With the arrival of good weather increase the displacements in this type of vehiclesespecially on weekends when these become a recreational activity in itself.
For this reason it is important to send a message of caution and respect for the rules since, so far this year, they have 49 motorcyclists died on weekends on the highway.
This campaign has, therefore, the objective of trying to reduce the fatal accidents of this type of vehicle during the weekends, for which the agents of the Traffic Group of the Civil Guard will intensify surveillance and verify that the regulations are complied with. .
And it is a fact that the sum of motorcyclists on conventional roads and during the weekends is an operation that entails a high danger and the figures prove it. With the data registered up to May 4, of the 361 people killed in traffic accidents, 71 were motorcyclists (20%). Of them, 83% died on conventional roads (59 motorcyclists).
As we previously highlighted, these percentages have risen during the month of April with the arrival of good weather and the increase in motorcycle outings during the weekends. Throughout this month, of the 99 people who died, 24% were motorcyclists (24 people) and, of these, almost 92% died in traffic accidents that occurred on conventional roads (22 motorcyclists). In addition, of the motorcyclists who died on weekends in April, 100% took place on conventional roads (16 motorcyclists).
