Lambros Kalarritis argued that traffic congestion costs one month of life per year, while N. Rigas called for a review of drivers.

The journalist Lambros Kalarritis, speaking on the “Kalimera” on SKAI, referred to the cost to citizens of the daily delays on the roads, estimating that the time lost in traffic amounts to a full month each year.

Driver re-examination and road safety

“I’ve calculated a 1-hour delay, not the normal route, an extra hour a day. Do you know how much that is over time? A month. In delays, not on the road. “An hour a day is terrible; a month of our lives, in the delay,” Lambros Kalarritis noted.

For his part, N. Rigas, spokesperson for the police officers, focused on the issue of driver suitability and the frequency of checks for the renewal of the driver’s license.

“Just think that 47 years we haven’t been tested for our psychological or physical integrity for our driver’s license. We get it at 18 and are tested again at 65. “Someone might be fine at 18 and not fine at 30,” noted N. Rigas, highlighting the need for discussion regarding more frequent driver screenings.
