Good to have a lawyers insight.

Because it is an 'amparo' I am doubting there is any constitutional basis too and it will be referred to lower courts.

Intrant is part of MOPC as described in the first post in the Policing and Administration of Traffic and Transit Rules and is legally bound to enforce rules apparently so maybe that aspect may also be thrown out.

We must also understand the Registration process is to collate all existing registered (by DGII) 'motos' on a register (database) just as is exists at present with all other vehicles, and license legal users with confirmation recorded on users helmets.

Folks in Las Terrenas or Sosua/Cabarete would be surprised at the uptake of helmets and registration now to be seen in the central parts of Santo Domingo.

I have paid several visits from the middle of the country to the capital in recent days and just yesterday after crossing the Ozama on 27th and into the central parts with Lincoln, Churchill and then Sarasota saw only 4 moto drivers not using a helmet in a few hours driving - two people in military attire and two colmado drivers with helmets in their baskets. Probably 90 to 95% had the stickers on their helmets. I saw a lower compliance at weekend recently though. My impression was based on what I saw on the the main highways I travelled.

Outside the central areas that I passed, there was less compliance arriving in from Las Americas and as I drove up Luperon and then along Duarte toward the ring road, the compliance slowly dropped such that by Los Alcarrizos flyover the compliance was down nearer 70% and by the ring road maybe 50%. I am sure in the barrios helmet use is lower too.

Out in the campo, you now do see helmets with stickers albeit few still.

It is remarkable that in just over a year, the capital is going from near zero helmets used and only 17k registered to mostly helmets and 650k now.

I wonder how it appears in Santiago, San Francisco, San Cristobal and La Vega where fines are being handed out?

To recap:

March 23 2021 17,272 motos registered

June 25th 2021 32,970 ditto

September 21st 124,000 ditto

July 14th 2022 590,000 ditto

July 17th 2022 602,000 ditto

August 3rd 2022 642,889 ditto (as El Caribe today)

- about 2.5k daily on average more recently

Long way to go but it is happening and probably needs a new push and is said it will come to other towns too soon.

It makes sense to focus on urban areas and the cities first and main roads. But more Digesett agents are surely needed. There are far too few for the 6m vehicles on the road.

You can't change an ingrained psyche quickly and it will take years to reach rural DR properly imo if the impetus is maintained.

The new head of INTRANT is revising the Motorcycle Registration Plan

Hugo Beras says they are reviewing the engine registration plan

https://www.elcaribe.com.do/panorama/pa … e-motores/

The executive director of the National Institute of Traffic and Land Transportation (Intrant), Hugo Beras, informed elCaribe yesterday that they are reviewing the National Motorcycle Registration Plan.

Beras announced that they will soon make an announcement regarding this initiative, which is part of the Citizen Security Strategy "My Safe Country", and which has been implemented since June 5, 2022.

Likewise, as part of the news that will eventually be will make known, yesterday morning Beras met with the Ombudsman, Pablo Ulloa with the aim of coordinating actions related to the registration of motors.

19 thousand motors per day must register to comply with the plan

Some 19,522 motors must be registered per day to comply with the National Motorcycle Registration Plan prior to the end of this year 2022 and thus be up to date with Law 63-17 on Mobility, Land Transport, Traffic and Road Safety, which It establishes the mandatory use of a protective helmet labeled with the motorcycle license plate, as well as obtaining a category one driver's license.

The measure was adopted taking into account the existence of motorcycles that for various reasons are not identified with the plate, nor the corresponding documents, so the registration was carried out under the responsibility of the user.

The National Institute of Traffic and Land Transportation (Intrant) informed elCaribe that there are 649,095 engines registered in this initiative to date.

The most recent report of the Vehicle Park of the General Directorate of Internal Taxes (DGII) details that there are 2 million 874 thousand 590 motorcycles registered in the country, which means that the registered percentage is barely 23 percent and 77 percent would remain. cent of these vehicles, for being current with this plan.

From last week to yesterday there was only a record of 6,206 engines.

This implementation is not carried out throughout the national territory. Its pilot plan began in the populous Cristo Rey sector, located in the National District and in Santiago.

As the months passed, other sectors and points were integrated to carry out this process, where the motorcycle user should carry with them their identity card, motorcycle, helmet and receipt of payment of the category one license, which corresponds to this type of vehicle.

If you have not registered your motor, you can go to the following points:

The Intrant placed the active motorcycle registration points on its web portal for these purposes.

The transit institution reported that in Greater Santo Domingo there are the centers enabled in the parking lot of the Intrant headquarters in the Quisqueya Stadium, the main driver's license offices and the Parque del Este.

In the province of Santiago, citizens can go to Bella Terra Mall and the Intrant-Public Works offices.

While in San Cristóbal, in its Sports Center, in San Juan; Municipal Stadium of San Juan de la Maguana, in San Francisco de Macorís; Julian Javier Stadium, La Vega; Palacio de los Deportes Fernando Teruel and in La Romana; at the Intrant office, service hours are Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and Saturdays from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

19,522 a day is not going to happen. This will take time but is not going away but continuing.
