Law 216: Police do not deal with simple crashes
According to what the norm determines, those who are involved in an accident or simple crash have within their possibilities the use of technical and technological tools, either photos or videos “to document the accident and show evidence to the insurers.”
Likewise, it is detailed that drivers will be able to move their vehicles from the road, take tests and avoid congestion.
But if they refuse, a transit agent will come and impose subpoenas.
- “In cases where it is materially impossible to remove the vehicles due to the technical-mechanical conditions of the same, they will be removed and transferred from the vehicle, without these facts giving rise to the imposition of the subpoena due to the blocking of roadway or intersection.
- “It will correspond to the insurance companies to adopt the modifications to the insurance contract and the procedures that allow the conclusion of these agreements and the payment of the insurance premiums, without the absence of the transit authority document being able to oppose this purpose.”
