00:30If this is a measure intended to save lives, as studies linking helmet use with a reduction
00:42in fatalities in accidents show, why is its requirement limited to a single region?
00:49Road safety should not be a geographical privilege, but a right guaranteed throughout the national
00:55territory.
00:57But the problem is not limited to non-compliance with this rule.
01:02Impunity seems to have become normalized in other aspects of traffic.
01:07Disregarding red lights, speeding and reckless driving are common violations both in the
01:12capital and in the interior.
01:15However, the permissiveness outside the city is even more alarming as it suggests a lack
01:20of will on the part of the authorities to enforce the rules.
01:25This selectivity in law enforcement is not only discriminatory, but dangerous.
01:31Traffic regulations exist to protect everyone, not just some.
01:35If the state allows compliance to depend on geographic location or the discretion of officers, the
01:42very principle of legality is weakened.
01:44Therefore, uniform and rigorous enforcement is urgently needed throughout the country.
01:48Traffic authorities must firmly assume their responsibility and citizens must understand
01:53that rules are not optional.
01:55Road safety is a collective commitment, and only with the efforts of everyone, government,
02:00and society can we prevent more lives from being lost due to negligence or indifference.
