Photo Radar on route to the coast Ecuador (Opinion)

Posted on March 26, 2012 • Filed under: Ecuador, TRAVEL

I call attention to the CTE (Ecuador Transit Commission) so please give us a respite to those who live on the road to the coast, with respect to the use of radar.

Radars placed taking photos of vehicles in the residential area of ​​this pathway. Example, I had a family event a few months ago, quoted the car of my wife twice with the same radar on the same day, and just two hours apart. The first citation was last December 11 at 12:40, the second citation was the same on December 11 at 14:53. That day my wife had a medical emergency with the health of my young son and left and returned to the house urgently. If they control the speed of vehicles in this area, should be with transit officials, not photo radar do not consider the emergency situation or a person at that time has passed, and are able to fine several times same day to the letter, without prior analysis of the situation. Please, take into account that in this area are several reasons why sometimes you have to make greater speed: if you have a car next to suspect or believe that you are, it is best to speed up a bit, taking into that citizens can not be armed as if they’re criminals, or if a truck is filled with stones dotting the windshield crazing, one must pass you even if it means a little more than the maximum speed indicated, among other reasons.
