On Monday, DR1 News warned readers that the Metropolitan Transport Authority (AMET) was going to crack down on drivers who jump or pass through red lights. On Tuesday, AMET handed out 1,915 tickets for this violation in Santo Domingo. AMET spokespersons told Listin Diario that running a red light is attempted homicide, and it has cost many lives. Over the weekend, the AMET troops handed out 2,101 summonses and some of the drivers were obliged to attend a six hour school for drivers. Yesterday another 1,915 summonses were handed out in the province of Santo Domingo and the National District. The Traffic Law stipulates that a violator can face jail time varying between three days and six months. Last weekend 300 persons attended Traffic School. Will you be next?
