Sevillanas prisons are home to a third of drivers convicted nationwide for crimes related to road safety
In this sense, Luis Carlos Rodríguez León has detailed the media, of the 1,100 drivers who were in Spanish prisons in 2010 for trafficking-related offenses , to 348 in Seville were serving an average of imprisonment of five months, most of them in prison in the town of Moron de la Frontera, 256, 70 in Seville I and a woman in the women’s prison in the town of Alcalá de Guadaíra.
In line, the prosecutor explained that after the reform of the Penal Code, the penalties are divided into jail, fine and work for the community , a separation that is “not working well,” since but worth working for the benefit of the community “is a very acceptable especially for the primary offender and is well presented, have not raised the necessary means to make it enforceable.”
In this line, Rodríguez León has shown that, of the 4,000 individuals sentenced to such punishment in the province of Seville, “1,000 did not meet his sentence as prescribed,” all of which in his opinion, “is a lot, because ultimately the citizen goes unpunished. ” “This is a problem which must urgently address the legislature,” he added.
THE 33 PERCENT DECREASE IN THE NUMBER OF CASES
Around the report for 2010, the prosecutor noted that in 2010 the prosecution decided 3000 cases compared to 4,500 in 2009, and has stressed that courts issued Seville 3600 convictions for crimes against road safety , “which represents a 97.7 percent effective, “since only two percent of drivers who went to trial were acquitted.
Thus, and by type of crime committed, the court issued until 2066 convictions for driving under the influence of alcohol , and other 1317 sentences for driving without driver’s license or without points. Also, speedy trials were held in 2500 police courts, 1,000 in criminal courts and only 37 cases came to be tried in the Provincial Court.
Additionally, 93 percent of those convicted were men and 7 per cent women, while 87 percent of drivers convicted were of Spanish nationality and the remaining 13 percent of foreign nationality.
RATE OF ALCOHOL
Rodríguez León, also highlighted that almost 90 percent of the positive breath tests fell below a gram of alcohol per liter of exhaled air, with the bulk of the positive between 0.60 and 0, 80 grams, in spite of which “is necessary to continue insisting on this matter, because people do not get to be aware of the loss of reflexes and gravity that is driving under the influence of alcohol.”
It has also been referred to the “problem” of children with the use of motor vehicles, noting that the 1,100 cases decided by the Office of Children, 1047 relate to driving without a license or license plates , “something very striking because it is a crime of easy resolution, and just educate them on the idea that need to be licensed to drive. ” “It’s a matter of education, and much of the responsibility lies with the parents of the children, who happily buy a moped or allow your child to use the knowledge that tourism is not allowed,” he lamented.
Another issue addressed by the prosecutor has been the elimination or modification of existing speed bumps in the Andalusian region in order to adapt to current regulations, a point highlighted by the effort of both the council and the Board. The latter, as reported by the Director General of Highways Board, Pedro Rodríguez Armenteros, has invested 2.216 million euros 4,228,851 in Seville, in this matter in order that the works to eliminate or adapt these bumps begin this year and completed in 2012.
Finally, Luis Carlos Rodríguez León has analyzed the “problem” that arises when local authorities failed to inform Traffic diversion of license points to lead the offenders, “an open problem which should lead to the opening of criminal proceedings if corrected, “but the provincial head of Traffic, José Luis León, stressed that in Seville are already 48 consistories that is reporting this.
