In 2008, 11,850 motorcycle accidents have been registered, that's 1,058 more than in 2007, and have left 74 people dead at the scene of the accident and 6,993 injured.
These facts motivated the Mayor's office to celebrate Motorcyclist Week, between the 8th and 15th of November. The main purpose is to teach bikers how to perform better on the road through a variety of educational activities.
68 year-old Humberto Jurado was selected as the exemplary motorcyclist for November.
