Follow us on social networks:From this year on, the Civil Guard Traffic Group will have camouflaged motorcycles equipped with speed radar.EphWe are at the time of year when more road trips are made.Two circumstances come together, the large number of vehicles that coincide on the roads and highways and that the journeys are longer.For this reason, every year the General Directorate of Traffic (DGT) plans exit operations to try to reduce incidents, especially road accidents and fatalities.Tiredness, forgetfulness, alcohol are some of the causes that cause these accidents, but the main one is still speeding.For this reason, each campaign, Traffic strives to improve its controls.The new motorcycles will not carry more official distinctive than the letters PGC of the registration.Iruna PressThis work has brought a novelty this year: camouflaged radars on motorcycles that, managed by the Civil Guard Traffic Group, join the usual fixed and mobile radars used until now.Until now, the latter could be the cinemometers that were installed on the shoulders of the road and those that were mounted on camouflaged vehicles, generally cars.But from this summer there will be 34 camouflaged motorcycles on the roads that will circulate on the roads with the highest concentration of motorist accidents.Its objective is to reduce the accident rate and ensure responsible driving by both bikers and drivers who cross paths with them.But do not trust anyone, some sources speak of up to 300 motorcycles, so it will not be strange to find them on the large highways controlling general traffic.Most likely, a driver will find out that one of these camouflaged motorcycles has crossed his journey later, when he receives the notification at home.Or when a patrol pulls you over on a safe shoulder to hand over the 'recipe'.But if you are one of the drivers who pay attention to traffic, paying attention to details, you will have a chance of locating them before.In principle, the agents who pilot these motorcycles will dress in civilian clothes and, except for a reflective vest, will not distinguish them from other bikers.But another detail that will reveal its presence are the license plates that they show.The vehicle that reaches them will be able to distinguish, if it goes at the appropriate speed, the letters PGC on the plates.A third indicator, more general, but that prudence advises to take into account, is the model of the motorcycle.For this first shipment, the Honda ST 1300 Pan European and the BMW R 1150 RT have been purchased.This information is useful for motorcycle fans, the rest will have to learn.This summer's security campaign by the DGT has 780 fixed radars, 92 of them on stretches, and 545 mobile radars, of which 34 will be the new motorcycles, for speed controls;12 traffic control helicopters, 245 mobile and seat belt control cameras, and 39 regulation drones, of which 23 can issue fines.As usual, Traffic has four dates marked on the calendar as the most delicate, the ones with the greatest amount of movement on the roads.They are the four weekends: summer departure operation, which this year 2022 has been between July 1 and 3;departure on August 1, between July 29 and August 1;the special operation of August 15, from August 12 to 15, and the return operation, from August 26 to 28.It will be then when the DGT takes out all its arsenal to try to make road trips as safe as possible.But whatever measures are put in place, effective safety depends on each driver and his behavior on the road.If you don't want to have an accident, or if you don't want a ticket, you have to stay within the speed limits.Enjoy all the news© Editorial Iparraguirre, SA All rights reserved
