SANTO DOMINGO. - 65% of all Dominican drivers admit to breaking some transit law regularly, said a survey done in March by the company Asisa which polled 391 motorists.
The survey disclosed yesterday includes details on the types of infractions committed, as well as the frequency which drivers admitted to: “speaking/chatting on cell phones while driving,” which 28% of those surveyed answered “yes” to.
The poll also found that 26% said they drive without a seatbelt, the same percentage who accelerate when the traffic light changes to yellow.
The Asisa survey said one in four Dominican drivers admitted to imprudent passing “once a day,” whereas 24% said they run a red light at least once daily.
It found that 23% also drive the wrong way in one way streets, and almost one in five drivers affirmed that at some time they’ve blocked an intersection during a red traffic light daily.
