The Local Police of Sant Antoni has reinforced in recent weeks its surveillance work on the roads of the municipality after joining two specific campaigns of the Directorate General of Traffic (DGT), focused on the control of vans and school transport vehicles. The objective is to improve road safety and reduce the accident rate by monitoring the condition of the vehicles and the behavior of their drivers.
The first campaign, carried out during the last week of November, was aimed at controlling vans, a type of vehicle especially present in the daily traffic of the municipality. During the controls, the agents verified the speed at which the vehicles were circulating, the safety conditions of the load, the documentation of both the driver and the vehicle, as well as the possible driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs and the use of seat belts. In total, 29 vans were inspected and five of them were sanctioned: two for positive breathalyzer tests, two for technical deficiencies and one for irregularities in the documentation.
The second campaign focused on school transport and was carried out in collaboration with the Transport inspectors of the Consell Insular d’Eivissa. In this device, 15 vehicles destined to transport minors were checked, verifying their technical condition, safety systems and regulatory documentation. All the vehicles inspected complied with the regulations in force, so no complaint was filed.
