Traffic rules during Semana Santa

In Fruisa just past the Centro Medico Punta Cana the PN sets up almost every day and and hauls off Motos left and right. Don't know how the PN and not Digesett do this but they are............I will bet every penny I have the 2 person maximum and helmets on driver and passenger are not enforced.
With the invasion of cheap Chinese junk motos it seems there are more motos now than the road has room to accommodate and they are all becoming more aggressive, have no working tail lights or mirrors and do not respect stoplights or riding on the right or going the wrong way on one way streets. Most I am sure do not have licenses.
At some point the government will have an impossible job of reigning in the populace of flagrant rider unless they start mass crushing of bikes. While some riders are respectful and maintain their safety function on the bike, I would guess it is only 25%
Suspect the "certain goods" would be foods, medical/humanitarian supplies, water, and fuels. Yet, most of us know rules of the road are not really followed nor heavily enforced.Yes, a bit confused why they would issue a speed limit is they are restricted from being on the road.
Unless there are exceptions certain goods that are in transit.
If they really wanted to control them they could put out flyers naming the things they would seize and destroy motos for.In Fruisa just past the Centro Medico Punta Cana the PN sets up almost every day and and hauls off Motos left and right.

Don't forget No WheeliesIf they really wanted to control them they could put out flyers naming the things they would seize and destroy motos for.
On the 2nd offense in a 6 month period they lose the moto permanently for any of the following:
Of course they should define the areas where this is enforced - it makes sense for Puerto Planta or Santiago but maybe not rural areas like Rio San Juan.
- No working lights or miss-colored lights
- Having a Flashing Front headlight
- Not have at least one mirror ( two required for moto conchos )
- Running a red light
- Racing
- Having more than 2 people over 90 lbs. Only one child additional
- No moto license
- No driver's license
- Not using an approved helmet (strapless helmets, baseball batting helmets or construction hard hats do not qualify)
I hate too many government rules too (I can tell you I resisted seat belt rules for years) but the flagrant abuse by motos endangers everyone
If they did this for one year you would see ever Dominican and Haitian Jabroni rushing to clean up their act and comply.
Most truck owners get permits for transit. Very easy to purchase on line.Yes, a bit confused why they would issue a speed limit is they are restricted from being on the road.

Suspect, the PN are checking for documents, not traffic infractions. If operators are without docs they are sent to the lockup and their motos seized. You can bet the PN does this work on paydays and on Fridays when a lockup is for the whole weekend. The operator has to pay to get out of jail and pay to get his moto back. Digesett/AMET people work their stops on two ends of the Cortecito, near the Cortecito school and Secrets.In Fruisa just past the Centro Medico Punta Cana the PN sets up almost every day and and hauls off Motos left and right.

Totally agree. As for number 2, how the hell do people tolerate those strobing headlights? They are horrible! I bet they have been the cause of a few accidents.If they really wanted to control them they could put out flyers naming the things they would seize and destroy motos for.
