Dalla Pozza " Continue until you learn to respect the vulnerable road users "
It ended with the challenge of 10 violations of campaign checks to the crosswalks implemented last week by the local police. Among the sanctions could be a novice who for this reason, in addition to a fine of 154 euro, has also suffered the deduction of 15 points from the license, instead of 8 ordinary.
The initiative has involved 26 local police patrols, each consisting of two people, for a total of 102 hours of work. At the same time have been found and also 17 alleged violations of the ordinance bans for the Euro 0, 1 and 2.
In the ten days prior to, during routine checks, 8 other motorists were fined for not giving way to pedestrians on the white stripes.
" 151 points overall cut from licenses and penalties for the beginning of the year to almost € 2,800 for failure before the sun at pedestrian crossings - says councilor Antonio Dalla Pozza - are numbers that should give pause to all those who drive a car. But more than that should give pause to the numbers of accidents that involved people on foot in 2009, pedestrians were 68, 3 of which are deadly and in 2010 were 56, one of which is so deadly. In Vicenza, there is even too bad when you cross a road, and until you change a culture that privileges always the car and the lack of respect for users 'weak' of the road, local police checks will continue. In recent days we have seen it all, including "slalom" and invasions of roadway to avoid pedestrians who were crossing. Behaviors are dangerous, as well as intolerable. I wish that all those who drive a car se ne rendessero conto, perché - prima o poi - capita a tutti di trasformarsi in pedoni, ed allora si apprezza quando qualcuno ci dà la precedenza. Ringrazio la polizia locale ed il suo comandante per l'impegno profuso in questo tipo di controllo: lungo, difficile, e nel quale bisogna saper distinguere i comportamenti effettivamente pericolosi. I controlli proseguiranno nelle prossime settimane. Periodicamente comunicheremo quando verranno nuovamente attivati specifici ed intensi servizi, volti più ad educare che a reprimere, per trasformare Vicenza in una città "europea", dove sulla strada ci possa essere spazio e sicurezza per tutti ".
