00:03Editorial from Wednesday, August 27, 2025
00:08No more advice, let the intrant act
00:11The country is suffering from an epidemic of traffic accidents involving heavy vehicles
00:15The cases are now commonplace
00:18Rollovers and brutal crashes that have one common denominator
00:21The unpunished violation of the law
00:24One need only travel along the highways to see the proof
00:27Trailers and cargo trucks routinely occupying the left lane
00:31Forcing other drivers to make risky maneuvers
00:34And flagrantly violating the provisions of Law 63-17
00:38This law, which requires these vehicles to drive on the right
00:42Has never been enforced
00:43Not for lack of evidence
00:45There are countless videos recorded by other drivers
00:48But for a complete lack of will to enforce it
00:50Therefore, the recent calls by the Director of the Intrant to drive on the right
00:55Are insufficient and even naive
00:57What's needed isn't a simple exhortation but rather decisive action
01:02The solution isn't to beg those who systematically break the law to please
01:06It's to enforce the law, without regard
01:10Intrant has the tools at its disposal
01:12It can use video surveillance cameras and drones to detect violators in real time
01:17And arrest them immediately
01:18This inspection must be accompanied by a strict and mandatory technical inspection of these vehicles
01:24The condition of their brakes and tires
01:26The driving record of their drivers
01:28And the weight of their loads
01:30Most of these predicted tragedies are the result of multiple simultaneous acts of negligence
01:35It's time to understand that, when it comes to road safety
01:39Appeals to awareness are useless in the face of recklessness
01:42The only thing those who systematically break the rules understand
01:46Is the firm application of coercion and penalties
