Given this daily drip of violent deaths, the Directorate General of Traffic (DGT) wants to draw attention and raise awareness with two very specific questions for reflection: As a citizen, how many deaths from a traffic accident are willing to tolerate in Spain ? And … how many times in the last week have you used your mobile while driving, have you had a beer or a drink knowing that you had to drive or exceeded the established speed limits? Specific questions that show the contradictions of the individuals who know and know the dangers that these behaviors generate but that sometimes violate the norms.
Traffic accidents are avoidable and the number of 1,005 deceased is a wake-up call, before a month in which the Constitution bridge and the Christmas holidays generate many long and short road trips.
The behaviors of each individual have a direct impact on the rest of the road users, so the responsibility is shared.
