The Local Police of Cartagena will carry out from the 4th to the 8th of February, in collaboration with the General Directorate of Traffic, a special Traffic Campaign for Road Safety of School Transportation and minors in the municipal area of ​​Cartagena.

The main objective of the campaign is to avoid accidents that occur in the field of school transport in the municipality.

90% of accidents that occur during school transport take place at the time of getting in or out of the vehicle, or in the immediate moments and in many cases, it is an abuse caused by a distraction of the minor, the driver of the transport school or the companions.

During the development of the campaign, which will take place between February 4 and 8, the agents will intensify the inspections on vehicles intended for school transport, verifying that the authorizations and documents that these vehicles must have are correct for the service provision.

In addition, agents will verify that the technical conditions and safety elements of the vehicle are those required by the regulations, as well as the special requirements that must be met by the driver himself, such as driving license or driving and rest times.

The controls will be carried out throughout the municipal area, thus guaranteeing greater road safety for all drivers traveling on the roads of Cartagena.
