All specialists in transit and most journalists insist the lack of respect for traffic laws as the main cause of road accidents that cost, annually, thousands of lives.
But no one notices or, if they warn, do not worry, that the Traffic Law 24449 is clearly the first inducing the widespread anomie Argentine drivers.
This is because, according to that law, the only legal way to learn to drive a vehicle to do this through a driving school, without admitting any alternative.
face of this, the first thing to note is that, for the cost of courses, very few Argentines who can attend those schools and, in most cases, when they use them is because they have no family or friends with a car for that learning.
The second thing to note is that these driving schools are not taught to drive but merely to drive a vehicle. Ie, in those schools, you learn the essentials to put the car in motion and make the necessary changes during the march and learn the techniques required parking will be the test to obtain a driver's license.
But that knowledge does not mean that minimum driving and know that to be a good driver, you need to know " drive defensively." The
" Defensive driving "required to have internalized" automatically "behavior to prevent accidents, for example, constantly looking in the mirror, be attentive not only to the vehicle ahead but to possible surprise maneuvers of vehicles which are still later, to distinguish a reckless drivers by type of operations they perform and a long list of internalized attitudes that should be taken to prevent accidents.
Also, the "defensive driving " requires, for example, contemplate the possibility that young children go from a row of parked cars and are filed suddenly in front of the vehicle. This is because, by his small stature, were hidden by the row of vehicles were parked. In this case, the only way to "drive defensively " is to be attentive not only to vehicles that surround us, but if they are constantly monitoring the legs of those children who have fallen to the road below parked cars. In this way you can anticipate their movements and avoid hitting.
Unfortunately, all this can not be learned in a short course in a driving school but is treated after traveling a few thousand miles.
But for this, we have at our side an experienced driver who will teach us the simple little secrets of safe driving.
For all this it can be said with certainty that driving schools do not teach driving .
But also note that the vast majority of those who drive vehicles in Argentina do not learn to driving schools but they did-and still do-with parents, siblings or friends, in clear violation to traffic rules and that, therefore, violated and violate the rules that require the availability of appropriate driver's license, for driving a vehicle public roads.
This, undeniably, it shows the negligence of those who enacted, promulgated and adopted for the federal, provincial and municipal law 24449, showing no concern whatsoever for this problem.
The practical solution to this is not complicated and the countries that have applied to road safety as state policy.
there who want to get a driver's license must have yielded a theoretical examination on the rules and driving a vehicle for at least 6 months and a " 's permit."
This "permission Beginner "enables to drive only if the passenger seat sits an adult who has a driver's license with a length of not less than 5 years. This is to prevent young learners drivers start driving under the protection of young people like them, no driving experience.
After those 6 months of private learning, without having committed any traffic violation, pays the road test and obtain a "provisional license " for a period of 12 months, which has restrictions and limited alcohol the number of violations per year.
After 12 months of driving with "provisional license" , it will be replaced by a "definitive license" , which have restrictions on alcohol only. This should be very low even after 3 years of age to obtain the final license or have completed 25 years. This is because it is considered that, before that age, the body metabolizes alcohol more slowly eaten since, well, only 3 years of driving have enough management experience to warrant a normal breath.
Thus, simple and effective, it could have been provided for by Law 24449, the countries would be for those who want to learn to drive do so starting to learn to respect the law.
Instead, in Argentina but, especially in the myriad of locations inside the country without driving schools, aspiring young drivers are forced to violate the law to obtain a driver's license.
It is therefore unrealistic to expect respect for traffic rules if the majority of Argentines had to begin by breaking the rules, to obtain a driver's license.
And who denounce anomie Argentine drivers, without indicating that irregular situation but easy to solve, show their ignorance on the subject.
But there is no doubt that the Federal Road Safety Council has not "done their homework" if, in the ten years since its inception, it has not achieved the amendment of that provision that encourages the widespread anomie Argentine drivers.
And the same is true of NGOs that also have done nothing effective about it.
