Health and safety on the roads
Road safety remains a key issue, particularly with regard to the driving style and behavior of road users. Research shows that distracted or tired drivers often lead to accidents, so everyone on the road should be vigilant. It is also important to focus on young and older drivers in order to minimize the risk of an accident. Measures such as using the rescue card in the event of an accident help emergency services respond faster and more effectively.
In conclusion, road safety is a shared concern. Anyone who gets behind the wheel or climbs onto the saddle of a motorcycle should always act with caution and responsibility. So that the streets become a little safer.
