Comment faire face au carnage routier ?

How to cope with road carnage?

Driving

I cordially salute all the members of the editorial team, wishing them a full success and a lot of courage in their work. By requesting them to kindly find a space for my contribution concerning driving, given the daily and regular road carnage, despite preventive calls and awareness campaigns. I hope that a favorable opinion will be issued for the dissemination, all the precautions have been taken so that there is no index contrary to the editorial principle or would not harm anyone.
K. Assia signed an article in the daily newspaper of Oran, edition n ° 9351 of August 23, classifying the only wilaya of Oran Première in terms of road accidents, with 618 recorded road accidents, third at the national level with 71 deaths and first at the national level with 827 injured, which plunges us into a stupor mixed with dread. I know that the public does not have automatically access to the pages of a press body, but I insist with the editorial team, because the interest of the subject requires everyone’s effort, from the fact that not one day goes, without the announcement of damage in human and material lives.
Indeed, traffic accidents, generate death, disability and injuries, in enormous numbers and without valid reasons, lives disappear and suffering arises, without choice of age and spare no conveyed or pedestrians.
It is from accidents that the families of the deceased will live the orphanage, among the wounded of the lucky ones heal, some suffer the persistent consequences for life and will experience the arduousness of the handicap and its deprivation. Also, these disasters return dear to the State (in human losses and in loads). Accidents are a phenomenon that no one is safe, deserves to be exposed clearly. It is certain that whatever the precautions, accidents will take place, so let’s do our best, if not delete them, at least, limit their number as much as possible.
This is what prompted me to participate in the question by this humble contribution. The situation persists and the losses in lives accumulate. What can I say when you read: a semi-trailer has entered a classroom, a driver-free bus descends a slope, telescoping, pile-up, motorcyclists playing uphill on the highway etc., which means that there are flaws, technical reasons, human behavior, uncrusted uncrust, a legal vacuum, all, accompanied by the lever and laissez-fro and laissez-fr. Of some of those supposed to think about the problem.
There are many causes such as the state of the rolling stock, roads, highways, drivers training, traffic frequency density, monitoring of the training provided by driving schools (program, time volume allocated to driving and code, qualification of the driving master), examiners who decide the ability to drive (competence, probity, honesty, impartiality), the authority responsible for prevention and traffic control and finally regulatory provisions etc. All these factors are linked to each other and can serve as avenues for reflection and scientific analysis on the basis of attentive observation making it possible to achieve adequate measures and permanent actions which will not be cyclical campaigns or
usual fanciful. In a pyramid, each actor must play his role fully and correctly, if one lacks his role, the pyramid collapses. Without intention or pretend to give lessons to anyone, because I have neither competence nor law, only I try to attract the attention of those who hold the reins and are responsible for this area that one cannot philosophize, from behind a central office, on the causes and write texts bearing inapplicable measurements on the ground. If, to date, what has been done has not led to the expected result, this means that aspects have been omitted or neglected, in order to limit the magnitude of the scourge.
To this end, we can say that the main causes, sources of this state of affairs, are man, vehicle, road, driving school, regulation, prevention sector, services which control the good application of the highway and traffic code and finally justice called to rule in these cases. All these actors have a share of responsibility in the subject situation of the subject, I do not accuse anyone, I try to understand, knowing that:
1- Man is defined as the most evolved human being of living beings, endowed with a power allowing him to weigh the pros and cons and differentiate good from evil. Has it been taken care of, properly, by the family first and by the School then? Has it been prepared to live with others and in good relationship? Do you not think that current behavior is the result of their family and school learning? Has the administration supervised this youth? Has it been instilled in civic, scientific, vocational education? Has he deeply instilled in his role and his responsibilities, the place he will occupy in society? In other words, the majority among us have become aggregate experts in nervousness, behavioral unruly, lack of respect, delinquency of all kinds. The criminal facts and conflicts that we see, on a daily basis, result, essentially, from the lack of supervision, the father does not have time to deal with it, it is taken, above all, by family, school, material needs and the food of his brood. It is true that taking the car is almost synonymous with suicide for road users whether they are motorists, truckers, bus, motorcyclists, cyclists and even pedestrians. It is found in first position the ace of the steering wheel rolling in formula I with very dangerous overruns, without compliance with the code, or others, sometimes giving cold sweats to wise drivers.
The second position concerns the buses led by young people, often inexperienced and unconscious, which races between them who arrives first at stopping to win the few travelers waiting, stopping everywhere, even blocking the path to take someone, the long journeys are made with a single driver in return and return. The third position is occupied by the heavy goods vehicles who consider themselves in road elephants by their imposing size which encourages them to make abuse on the track, circulating day and night with full headlights, without worrying or embarrassed by those in the face of the dazzled facing vain signals (pair code). The fourth position is reserved for novices in driving, with a sticker on the rear window with 80 km/h, but roll at more than 120 km/h, with all the risks, sometimes, are very scary to other drivers.
Finally, the others (the wise), calm, respectful of the instructions of driving and the code and which are, in most cases, the victims, the fact that their safety depends on the irresponsibility of the first cities. If these dangerous crazy people want to commit suicide, it is their problem, unfortunately, it is not up to them to take life to others or make them eternal infirm.
Despite everything, the human being is not this animal that can be picked up with a whip, but we can teach him, pedagogically, to join the project, if not impose on him by the dictatorial method, he will end up learning to be afraid of man not of the law, this is the reason that sometimes the strength solves problems. Judge for yourself, when the motorist sees a police officer or a gendarme, he opts for a perfect education and respect for the code, the speed limitation, as soon as he sees nothing, he is crazy, therefore, he fears man not the law.
However, the majority of our youth is full of common sense, kind, competent, courageous, serious, in love with your country, you just have to know if taking it. A good official must not only convince sanction.
2) The vehicle is a precious good, the man who created it, did it, I think, in the spirit of the well-being of humanity, it is likely that he did not plan that the automobile will make as many deaths. This unforeseen event whose effects are disastrous and both unhappy for people and families, employers and the state. It is superfluous to insist on the consequences of these accidents on the human, material, economic and social level, I do not make morals, or speak in the name of the State, I limit myself to express my sincere thoughts by recalling them briefly.
The movements from one point to another being long, therefore, the geniuses invented increasingly powerful engines to save time and go further. The speed is greater and this, without thinking that this means of transport would be the cause of huge mournings and material damage, the figures prove it.
In addition to physical and moral suffering, there is the regression of resources despite the benefits granted by the insurance funds, often, with a definitive decrease or disappearance of the work capacity, an embarrassment, sometimes, unbearable by the family. For the employer, the expenses and contributions that depend on the real cost of the risks, for the State, the increase in budgetary charges, such is the result of any accident, even without human death.
3) The road this terrestrial path created, traced, carried out, extended and extended has, for the purpose, to allow the populations, in general, to move, to meet, to exchange things according to their needs and to consider themselves. Normally, the realization of roads and highway responds to the census of incidents or probable facts according to a projection on the basis of soil studies, traces, avoiding all kinds of dangers, bringing closer to entries and outputs in and the highway compared to cities, forecasting of dependencies, inclination and conduits for the release of rainwater, reduce the percentages of the coasts to attenuate. heavy and ensure permanent maintenance.
A highway is in principle intended for rapid circulation, it must have a minimum of risks. What exactly is that, the purpose is the one planned? Along the highway, in places, it has become places of commerce, I invent nothing.
4) The driving school is the only place of training par excellence, even if the legislative and regulatory provisions relating to organization and functioning exist, are they really and followed? Is the staff fit and qualified, the durations of theoretical and practical learning, are they respected, with applied regulatory pricing?
Because obtaining sesame (driving license) has become a drug for certain candidates (boys and girls), the main thing is to take the wheel and brave the prohibitions and the dangers, taking big risks, with the blessing of the parents, proud of their offspring, they authorize them to drive, even without a license.
