Each country has its own laws to maintain order and a harmonious life among the inhabitants. Traffic laws are very important to keep order. In Ecuador, the national transit agency is responsible for developing laws for the management of motor vehicles. According to the ANT, imprisonment, fines, and the revocation, reduction of points, temporary or definitive suspension of the license or and even community work are the penalties applied. In all cases of traffic offenses, the authorities reduce the driver’s license points depending on the severity of the infraction. The reduced points go from 1.5 to 4,5 for the slight violations. Once all the points have been lost, that is to say 30 points, the drivers are not allowed to drive for 60 days, and they must attend a driving course. After leaving the course, these drivers only recover 2O points. If a person loses the license more than four times, he or she cannot renew it. In Ecuador it is considered a serious contravention to drive under the influence of alcoholic substances or narcotics. But it is a crime if, by DUI, a driver causes an accident where someone dies. In addition, this person will be imprisoned for 8 to 12 years, will not be able to have a license to operate any vehicle. If a person causes a fatal accident because of negligence, incompetence, recklessness or speeding the penalty is 3 to 5 years and a fine of 20 unified basic salaries.
