The president of the National Institute of
Land Transportation (INTT), G/D Gabriel Aguana Rodríguez, during an interview with the
program Buena Vibra, broadcast by Venezolana de Televisión (VTV), explained that
85% of traffic accidents are related to the use of the cell phone.
“If you combine cell phone
use while driving, with a person who is under the
influence of alcohol, there are bound to be devastating consequences for the family,” he said.
He also said that not keeping enough distance
between vehicles, making abrupt or reckless channel changes without
using mirrors or lights, speeding,
drinking alcoholic beverages before driving and using the cell phone, are the main causes of road accidents.
On the other hand, Aguana Rodríguez recommended that citizens
go to the 37 prioritized terminals to avoid illegal routes in units
that have not approved the revision of safety, hygiene and
comfort regulations, which is carried out prior to the authorization granted by the INTT.
Finally, the General called on citizens to rely on citizen security
bodies, which are ready and willing to assist them
to ensure a healthy enjoyment and a happy return.
