jail

The Government of Spain has insisted that we do not exceed the speed limits. And it has a threat: jail

by

At the moment it is a Bill presented in the Congress of Deputies but it is much more than that. It is confirmation that the Government will debate when a driver should go to jail in case of speeding. The PSOE’s proposal is to reduce this margin, which now requires driving through the city at more than the permitted speed of 60 km/h. 10km/h. It’s not much but it would be a substantial difference. Until now, a driver who exceeds the maximum speed allowed within the city by 60 km/h or more faces a prison sentence. Outside the city, the speed must exceed 80 km/h above the maximum permitted limit. With the change in regulations What the Government wants to carry outthe idea is that these limits are lowered by 10 km/h. That is, a driver has to face jail if he exceeds 50 km/h in the city and 70 km/h on roads outside of town. “Excessive permissiveness or laxity”. It’s like the Bill presented in the Congress of Deputies qualifies the current thresholds to determine what is a crime and what is not when we break the speed limits. Currently, the limits are as follows. City: Streets at 20 km/h: prison from 80 km/h Streets at 30 km/h: prison from 90 km/h Streets at 50 km/h: prison from 110 km/h Road outside the town: Road at 90 km/h: jail from 170 km/h Road at 100 km/h: jail from 180 km/h Road at 120 km/h: jail from 200 km/h The arguments. To promote this regulatory change, the Government indicates that the European Union is promoting changes to reduce road accidents. This is how it is understood more restrictive speed limits in much of Europe, although Germany continues to enjoy roads that lack them (up for debate today) and countries that They want to increase them to 150 km/h. But, in addition, the PSOE hides behind the fact that a 1% increase in speed has a 4% impact on its consequences. Therefore, the impact caused by an accident due to excess speed, which according to DGT accounts is present in 22% of accidents, is growing exponentially. Furthermore, the new wording emphasizes the consequences in the city, where excessive speed has more serious consequences on the health of vulnerable people such as pedestrians, cyclists, users of personal mobility vehicles and motorcyclists. Are there reasons? The truth is that excess speed is, behind distractions, the leading cause of accidents in our country. And its consequences are especially serious in the city. According to the DGT5% of pedestrians hit at 30 km/h die. At 50 km/h, the risk increases to 50% and at 80 km/h death is almost certain. And on the road, an impact at 120 km/h is considered to translate into a fall of a fourteenth floor. At 180 km/h the impact is equivalent to falling from a 36 story. What would happen to the drivers? At the moment, speeding Driving at more than 60 km/h in the city and more than 80 km/h outside of it are considered crimes, like those positive for alcohol and drugs. This means that the driver, in addition to the financial penalty, faces a prison sentence of three to six months that does not have to be served on the first occasion. Of course, although the sentence does not exceed two years, a judge has the power to decide whether to send the driver to prison. And also if it imposes a financial fine, which is calculated based on the damage caused or the risk to which it has subjected other drivers and traffic agents if no accident had occurred, from six to twelve months or work for the benefit of the community from thirty-one to 90 days. In addition, he would be deprived of his driving license for one to four years. Will it move forward? That is something that the Congress of Deputies now has to debate. Both the DGT and the Government have recently been promoting more restrictive measures against excessive driving. Under the direction of Pedro Sánchez, the penalties for mobile phone use have worsened and the obligation to have insurance and registration if you have a scooter. In the same way, there has been an attempt to promote a change in alcohol limits that would prevent a person from driving as soon as they had had a beer or a glass of wine. However, this reform is still up in the air. Photo | Max Angelo In Xataka | A town in France has managed to reduce the speed of its cars. Without radars or traffic lights or speed bumps

15,000 euros of fine and nine months in jail

Use the driving card of a third to get rid of the withdrawal of points. The practice is so common that it is possible to find ads in digital purchase and sale spaces, such as Milanuncios. That is what a driver did in 2015. Now, the Supreme Court has settled its case and has bad news. Identification. When on a highway or highway we circulate above 150 km/h, the driver risks the withdrawal of two to six points from the driving card. The economic amount exceeds, in these cases, 200 euros and can reach 600 euros. However, when this speed is recorded by a Fixed radar (or with Pegasus)the DGT will force us to identify the driver with the intention of subtracting the person who was driving the corresponding points. A lagoon in which many drivers found a good basket. I prefer to take my money. That obligation to identify the driver has led to a repeated scam: endorse the fine for loss of points to a third party. It is usually relatively simple with older people who have stopped conducting those who do not care about the points they have in their license. The situation can be much more harmful for those who work at the expense of maintaining an active driving license, such as a delivery man. It is not strange, therefore, that in digital spaces of sale we come to find ads in which the purchase of other people’s driving card is proposed for an amount that, in some cases, reaches 1,000 euros per retired point. Documentary falsehood. The maneuver is recurrent because, like fixed radars “hunt” the vehicle behindit is difficult to confront the version that a 90 -year -old was not the one after the steering wheel of a car that has registered a speed of 160 km/h. However, it has many risks since those who endorse their points to the license of a third party will be incurring a crime of documentary falsehood, which multiplies the problems in case justice discover that we are trying to deceive them. It is what happened to this León driver. 15,000 euros of fine. The case of this man was recorded in 2015. Then, he was sanctioned for speeding with a punishment that forced the withdrawal of points. To avoid this, he registered his 82 -year -old father as a offender. Paid the fine, everything should have been left in what often happens: a hoax to the administration. This case, however, is particular because the driver did not maintain a good relationship with his father who, upon learning of the trick, denounced the driver, explain in The country. Now, a decade later, the Supreme Court has reaffirmed in the sentence imposed by lower instances: 15,000 euros of fine and a nine -month prison sentence. The Supreme Court ensures that the driver lacked the truth when answering the requirement of the sanction and is reaffirmed in the conviction of the Provincial Court of León, who alleged that there had been a crime of documentary falsehood. Inconsistencies. To defend himself, the driver claimed that during the previous years, justice has not followed a specific jurisprudence. Likewise, he assured that in his way of acting there was an “ideological falsehood” or, what is the same, missing the truth in the narration of the facts. However, the Supreme Court ensures that this is not true. They understand that when the driver’s registration is falsified, an alteration of the document itself occurs. Thus, this makes the “document in its entirety constitute a fallacy”, while recalling that it has produced direct damage to the figure of the father.
