Social in the battle of coexistence and reduction of accidents

It is not a day but a time when we do not hear or read about a traffic accident.

The other day in a carcass on Poseidon Avenue with seven vehicles, a driver was drunk.

In other cases, the cause of severe conflicts was excessive speed even within the urban tissue.

Sometimes drivers are removed as they are committed to mobile screens. And of course there are also cases of aggressive driving and indifference to the street user. Lately, there have been successive shavings on the road to a priority. Or because some people think they always have a priority …

It has been voted on and provides strict fines for offenders. But will it solve all of the above issues? Will traffic accidents and accidents drastically limit?

Will it reduce indifference to the adjacent driver, pedestrians, vulnerable users? Will it raise awareness of coexistence on the road? I appreciate not. After all, it is virtually impossible to have traffic blocks everywhere.

Traffic education. But in order to change the situation, education and traffic education must concern everyone. Certainly a lesson and start from the toddler and continue to high school.

But this is not enough. Why? But it’s simple. How will the 60s, 50s, 40s, 30s, 20 -year -old drivers be trained in the streets? Will they go back to school training? Not of course. Even to formally take a lesson, traffic lawsuits, drivers cannot return to schools and desks.

Impossibility.

Therefore, what is needed is flexibility by the authorities and of course a will to deal with the problem.

Why don’t we make the very simple, the very easy to use the capabilities of new technology to « bomb » all ages with campaigns and campaigns for proper driving behavior?

Everyone in today’s era is constantly stuck in mobile phones.

So what the Ministry of Transport, Traffic, Police, the country’s large municipalities should do to use social media and start campaigns immediately to coexist different vehicles on the road, to limit speed, to choose alternatives.

It would be extremely beneficial for everyone, as we are in a habit, as we check our social, facebook, tik tok, Insta, watching videos and messages that will encourage us to drive more prime.

In the same way, other media could be used, such as television, radio and websites.

So we will have secured, even at no cost, a lifelong education, a lifelong learning in traffic education. For all ages of drivers.

All of the above is not… nuclear physics nor any great discovery.

Many cities many authorities abroad have realized that social media and smart phones can be an important tool in the battle to reduce traffic accidents.

Another thing that the competent authorities must see seriously is that the way we move and move is now changing. We see both bicycles and electric bicycles and skates next to us on the street.

The petty caring is here.

It is therefore necessary for the big municipalities, the ministry and the police to cultivate its culture of empathy and coexistence on roads and avenues.

They need to help drivers realize that his neighbor on the road and driving a bike or skateboard has rights.

They have to learn to share the way.

They must understand that those who have chosen to limit the IX and move on the road with micro -motivation vehicles do good in traffic and the environment and therefore should not be treated as … enemies or obstacles.

But I repeat, in order to develop this culture of respect for our neighbor needing systematic effort. Continuous campaigns and information campaigns are required with all available media.

The new technology media should definitely get into the « battle ». But at the same time the most traditional ways with workshops, discussions, events should be used.

Municipalities and other bodies should be mobilized. But all this has to be done yesterday. We have no other time for indifference to the neighbor, for human life.
