The Local Police of Totana today begins a campaign of the General Directorate of Traffic (DGT) to detect vehicles in poor condition, above all, affect the condition of the tires, lighting, number plates, documentation and ITV.
The average age of the regional park of cars has increased in nearly four years, 3.7, during the last decade, which represents a risk factor added by the absence of security systems and equipment recently implanted in addition to the problems arising from its use.
For this reason, and as happens every year in conjunction with the Special Traffic Operation Summer, DGT has designed a special campaign monitoring and control of the conditions of the vehicle to be held between now and next July 17 by the Sector Traffic Civil Guard of Murcia and municipalities in the region to adhere, including the Totana.
The age of the vehicle has a high incidence of accidents involving casualties occurred in the region of Murcia in 2016, where, for example, of the eight cars involved in collisions with fatalities, the average vehicle age was 15.7 years, from 16 in the case of vans (2) or 8.33 years in the three motorcycles involved in fatal accidents.
