With this phrase, the manuscript on the motorcycle bike, its driver moves in a terrifying driver, to live his day and earn his livelihood. With this embarrassing hope, the poor think that he will survive the wheels of recklessness or neglect, which are – in fact – disgraceful behavior that sends one message: the challenge of public order at the expense of taste, morals, safety of the soul, and others.
The issue of traffic safety is one of the thorny social issues, due to its association with the daily lives of people, and its role in provoking thinking about the importance of civil education in forming individual responsibility to control irresponsible behaviors, as it is an essential element to support the system and impose its prestige, especially when the cases of indifference and indifference are increasing in the consequences, whatever their seriousness.
And for those who imagine that road accidents are merely transient accidents that have no effect except on the affected parties, they are wrong; Its losses extend – besides loss of lives and the bitterness of the departure of loved ones – to include declining productivity due to long -term injuries, damage to infrastructure, and exhausting health care and public security systems. This is in addition to destabilizing the security of street security and its negative repercussions on vital sectors such as tourism, all of which have the superiority of what can be allocated to proactive prevention measures.
In view of the huge human losses witnessed by the world due to traffic accidents, more than a million deaths annually, in addition to its material losses, dealing with it – according to international literature – has become more cautious and careful, to the extent that it is classified as a “road epidemic” or “silent war”!
To address this, the United Nations allocated an initiative entitled “The Work Contract for Road Safety”, to develop laws and policies that develop awareness and sense of responsibility among drivers, and reduce deaths and injuries by 50% by 2030. The United Nations initiative, by the way, falls within the sustainable development goals related to public health and well -being, sustainable cities, and climate change.
Some countries, such as Sweden and Norway, dealt with the traffic issue extremely seriously, preceded the aspirations of the “safety contract” for a quarter of a century, by applying a zero vision – to reduce the deaths and injuries resulting from accidents, and by adopting the protection policy instead of punishment. And the result? The rates of “zero deaths” in some of its cities.
As for the Japanese model, and what you know is what the Japanese model, which leaves a detail except and crushes its demons, its traffic policy depends on the research of an institute for analyzing accidents and its emerging phenomena. The umbrella of his cooperation is expanding to include the ministries of transport, roads, tourism, car manufacturers, traffic police, universities, and research centers.
In exchange for this scientific durability to research the roots of any dilemma, we find that Japanese discipline, in general, reduces the burden on the system in pursuing those outside the laws, and establishes civilized social rules that grant the law its prestige and rise, in return, in general taste. It is a shame to bother others with the sounds of trumpets, and it is disgraceful to violate traffic regulations, and woe to those who decide to drive his car while he is in a position that does not qualify him for that.
One of the latest news that supports the insecure leadership is a British decision to ban a television advertisement for the “Mars” chocolate company because of its reckless content, which depicts a race on the highway that ends with the cohesion of two cars, in analogy with the famous “Toyx” sweets!
The issue, then, and by virtue of its association with our daily life as we indicated in the beginning, requires a decisive, bundle and comprehensive policies that address the problem from its roots.
We will not exaggerate if we say that the “crimes” in the opposite of the direction are the first issues that must be considered to know their causes and work on their feet in its cradle, as it is an immoral behavior and a criminal act that the punishment should be clear and strict.
An important point that must be paid attention to, which is the index of the recently observed drivers, and their orientation for the option of installing the “dash -cam” devices on the pretext of documenting violations and proving the facts, especially for those who begged themselves to deny them, and this requires, of course, a license and organization to separate violations of privacy and stabilize the public right, and the extensive gray space between them.
