For all of those who are interest in the obvious.
No offense, but interest in criticizes. Today I would like to get into the dissemination of the new traffic law in Ecuador, with special analysis in Quito.
First of all let me mention which, in my opinion is the most striking thing of this law, and before to continue I want to apologize if my ignorance in legislation doesn’t permit me to make a good interpretation of this.
I read, in the Art. 4 of the law, agree to the goverment to provide driver education constantly in all educative levels, as a subject, in public and private schools in the state. Not really sure if is real or not, but I have never take this classes, not my friends, not the rest of my family, even not people which I just know, why? Is really necessary to put some regulations to the laws? And for those I guess are necessary some statutes or ordinance to apply it? When all of these necessary things exist I suppose will be necessary to create people which can diffuse the information. People with enough knowledge and pedagogical skills, which have with experience, adequate abilities and off course good cognizance of the traffic law. It means that they will go to schools and college where they can find it, or to universities where it exist as a formal career, but if the rules for the laws are not ready yet? Where they suppose to go?
On the one hand I see the effort of some member of the police which are trying to inculcate thought threats how should be the correct behavior of pedestrians in Quito; I consider this as the only one way. Off course if our parents use to do it with the children, punish them for mistakes, instead to teach from it and let them see the positives, why don‘t do it also with the community? Why not with government?
For some reason is coming to my mind many cases of adolescents, while more prohibitions and punishments there are around them more rebels they can be. Remember, most of the teenage girls without adequate formation and full of taboos, now are young single mothers. The teenagers with forbiddance in front of them all the time to smoke, to drink alcohol, to have sex inclusive, are really experts in lies.
I am lying when I say quiteños[1] are rebels? Ask ourselves, if we are rebels; if our children are do too, if our grandchildren also, why we are giving them the same old inefficient education?
Which parents haven’t worked the new technique of trust and understanding instead of threat and punish? Which adult, young and old do not like to be correctly informed and be able to take their own decisions without to be judged or penitentiary?
Why the authorities, of which depends on community are still offending our intelligence with threats and non information? How they pretend that we know about traffic law if doesn’t exist yet? Furthermore, how they pretend to let us pay fines for violations that we simply don’t understand? I am maybe been aggressive or drastic even, but in this context the “coimas[2]” has more sense, and to clarify you, I against of the corruption in the all levels, I am one of the citizens which prefer to be in jail than to collaborate with it. But, how do or not do? If at the end of the day I am in the same road ignorance.
How is possible that an adult, studied person, interest in the mobility subject, already discovered that is forbidden to cross the street in diagonal, and more over, the fine for the violation is more than 10usd? How is possible that the same person knows how to knitting and embroidery perfectly because did it during the firsts years of primary school and never in the live use it? Is maybe illogical that a 5 years old child is learning how to make hot dogs, but is completely aberrant to understand, what is mobility? Even when he does it daily?
For me is clear, we are not invented how to warm water, but what is not clear yet, is why we are still using wood instead to turn on the stove?
