Dr. Francisco Alonso, Director of INTRAS, has been interviewed by Milenio TV (Mexico) for its news program “Movilidad” (Mobility), on November 7, 2024.
Dr. Alonso has highlighted the importance of the First Regional Meeting for Latin America of the Global Alliance of NGOs for Road Safety held in Mexico from November 5 to 7, given that road safety is a challenge for Latin America, and where a reduction of road accidents is sought.
Professor Alonso points out that speed, attitudes, behaviors, road safety education, alcohol, are some of the factors that are involved in road accidents and calls for two fundamental things: training and road safety education and a regime of consequences such as the Points License.
As for the Permanent License, Alonso believes that it could be admissible as long as two conditions are met: that the person does not commit infractions and that he/she continues to meet the psycho-physical conditions to be able to drive, for which he/she has to receive training related to risk perception, attitudes and that all this is assessed from the point of view of the exam.
