Pero, sin perjuicio de que discutamos si se deben o no endurecer las sanciones, una soluci\u00f3n m\u00e1s duradera puede ser el fortalecimiento de la educaci\u00f3n vial, en especial de los ni\u00f1os y ni\u00f1as que, a la vuelta de pocos a\u00f1os, ser\u00e1n la mayor\u00eda de los conductores.<\/p>\n<p>La raz\u00f3n es tan obvia como poderosa: una buena educaci\u00f3n vial podr\u00eda prevenir muchos de estos accidentes, lo cual har\u00eda menos necesario endurecer los castigos. Es simplemente una forma de aplicar ese viejo pero sabio consejo atribuido a Pit\u00e1goras y que hace a\u00f1os est\u00e1 afichado en la Avenida 68 en Bogot\u00e1: \u201cEducad a los ni\u00f1os y no tendr\u00e9is que castigar a los adultos\u201d.<br \/>\nEsto puede parecer ingenuo, pero no lo es: los conductores violan las reglas de tr\u00e1nsito por muchas razones, pero hay dos muy importantes: porque no las conocen o porque, conoci\u00e9ndolas, no consideran que sea grave incumplirlas. Una buena educaci\u00f3n vial permitir\u00eda enfrentar esos dos obst\u00e1culos, pues no s\u00f3lo dar\u00eda informaci\u00f3n sobre las normas de tr\u00e1nsito, sino que deber\u00eda igualmente mostrar los peligros asociados al manejo de carros, que no por azar ha sido definido por el derecho como una actividad peligrosa.<\/p>\n<p>Los nuevos conductores tendr\u00edan entonces una mejor cultura vial, pues no s\u00f3lo conocer\u00edan mejor las reglas sino que tendr\u00edan una actitud m\u00e1s responsable en el manejo. Y habr\u00eda entonces menos accidentes.<\/p>\n<p>La educaci\u00f3n vial es entonces importante; pero adem\u00e1s, desde 2002, el Gobierno tiene el deber de poner en marcha programas de este tipo en la educaci\u00f3n formal b\u00e1sica, desde preescolar hasta secundaria, como me lo explic\u00f3 uno de mis hermanos, quien present\u00f3 por esa raz\u00f3n una acci\u00f3n de cumplimiento. En efecto, el art\u00edculo 56 de la Ley 769 de 2002 estableci\u00f3 que la \u201cense\u00f1anza en educaci\u00f3n vial\u201d era una asignatura obligatoria y que los ministerios de Transporte y Educaci\u00f3n ten\u00edan un plazo de 12 meses para reglamentarla y ponerla en marcha. Pero estos ministerios pr\u00e1cticamente no hicieron nada. Y como para premiarlos por su inacci\u00f3n, casi diez a\u00f1os despu\u00e9s la Ley 1503 de 2011 decidi\u00f3&#8230; darles nuevamente 12 meses para que cumplieran. Pero ni as\u00ed ha sido posible, pues el plazo venci\u00f3 en diciembre de 2012 y los ministerios siguen incumpliendo.<\/p>\n<p>En este contexto, en vez de esperar una orden judicial que lo obligue a cumplir esos precisos mandatos legales, \u00bfno deber\u00eda el gobierno Santos tomar ya las decisiones necesarias para que la educaci\u00f3n vial sea una realidad en la educaci\u00f3n formal b\u00e1sica y prevengamos as\u00ed, en el futuro pr\u00f3ximo, muchos de estos accidentes que tanto dolor y sufrimiento ocasionan a tantas familias?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Death due to traffic accidents are as painful as inevitable, and have led to many politicians and citizens to ask for stricter punishment against those responsible for said accidents. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1609],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-28171","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-rule-of-law","medium-el-espectador-en","post-scope-aaa-not-blog"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.9 (Yoast SEO v25.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Transit: educate to not punish?
