Parents on the Road
Padres de la Ruta (lit. Parents on the Road) is an initiative carried out jointly by citizens collaborating with the police and municipal authorities to assist in controlling the blood alcohol levels of automobile and motorcycle drivers, in particular during the weekends and on the days that the dance clubs are in operation. Each party fulfills different functions: police stop vehicles, inspectors perform blood-alcohol-level tests, firemen signal and support, while mothers and fathers organize controls, explain the procedure to offenders and record their data.
