Todo preparado para el fin de semana más motero del año en Jerez. Desde la subdelegación del Gobierno en Cádiz se pide especial prudencia y tranquilidad en las carreteras para los alrededor de 250.000 desplazamientos previstos durante el fin de semana del Gran Premio.

Los vehículos que se comercialicen en la Unión Europea a partir de 2015 deberán incluir el sensor e-call que permite al vehículo hacer una llamada automática de emergencia en caso de accidente.

During the Easter period there were 37 fatal accidents on Spanish roads. This figure is a slight increase compared to the data recorded in the same holiday period back in 2011.

Estimates by the DGT (Dirección General de Tráfico –Traffic Department) indicate that around 14 million long-distance journeys will be made in cars over the Easter period - Semana Santa. According to the DGT Wednesday night and Thursday morning - Jueves Santo – will be when the most intense traffic of the whole year will be recorded.

This is one of the figures released by Spain's traffic authority, the Dirección General de Tráfico (DGT) following its latest 14-day campaign to clamp down on and monitor distractions at the wheel.
