The Buenos Aires Government sent to the Legislature the project that looks for to fight. The initiative has to with the measure that on Thursday 09/03 announced the governments of the Nation and the City to apply greater controls to motorcyclists in order to avoid criminal acts, but implementing measures that in the past failed, as reflective vests, prohibit the circulation in certain areas and schedules and mandatory use of the helmet. It also provides fines of $ 5,200 for those who fail to comply with these conditions. Guilds and motorcycle associations continue to reject the measure as on other occasions.
Among the main points of the initiative discussed by the Buenos Aires Legislature, nicknamed “anti-motorcycle law”, the movement of 2 people on a single motorcycle, in certain areas and time zones, will be prohibited by considering a map of the crime. In addition, motorcyclists must wear fluorescent vests with the road surface (they must also wear it in the helmets) and the companions must use these identifying elements so they can circulate in the places and times allowed.
Those who do not use comply with the restricted zones could be fined with 100 Fixed Units, that is, about $ .1000. The fine amounts to 500 Fixed Units, which today equals $ 5,200 for those who do not wear the safety vest and helmet. In addition, it could fit between 5 and 10 days of disqualification to drive.
