Zero deaths on Belgian roads by 2050. Reading current statistics, the objective seems complicated to achieve without the implementation of drastic measures in terms of road safety: last year, 483 people lost their life on Belgian roads. As such, Vias wishes to reduce the technical margin to 3%, compared to the 6% in force in Belgium.
The experts are unanimous but are visibly facing a lack of political will. This measure, although it will certainly benefit road safety, will not be enough to achieve zero deaths by 2050. Justice must absolutely be much more severe against road ragers and pedal enthusiasts. accelerator, apply zero tolerance. The example of the “flying footballer” does not go in this direction.
At 138 km/h on a road requiring 50 km/h and tested with 1.72 grams per liter of alcohol in the blood, the driver benefited from the suspension of the sentence. Hello example… The police must also step up their efforts on road checks. Increase the number of road checks at relevant times. A road check at 7 p.m. on a weekday under the Herrmann-Debroux viaduct, another at 10 a.m. in a busy road in Schaerbeek (true) have no meaning other than making numbers for the sake of making numbers.
