Lambros Kalarritis argued that traffic congestion costs one month of life per year, while N. Rigas called for a review of drivers. <\/p>\n
The journalist Lambros Kalarritis<\/strong>, speaking on the “Kalimera”<\/strong> on SKAI<\/strong>, referred to the cost to citizens of the daily delays<\/strong> on the roads, estimating that the time lost in traffic amounts to a full month each year. <\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve calculated a 1-hour delay<\/strong>, not the normal route, an extra hour a day. Do you know how much that is over time? A month<\/strong>. In delays, not on the road. “An hour a day is terrible; a month of our lives, in the delay,” Lambros Kalarritis<\/strong> noted. <\/p>\n For his part, N. Rigas<\/strong>, spokesperson for the police officers<\/strong>, focused on the issue of driver suitability and the frequency of checks for the renewal of the driver\u2019s license<\/strong>. <\/p>\n \u201cJust think that 47 years<\/strong> we haven\u2019t been tested for our psychological<\/strong> or physical integrity<\/strong> for our driver\u2019s license. We get it at 18<\/strong> and are tested again at 65<\/strong>. “Someone might be fine at 18 and not fine at 30,” noted N. Rigas<\/strong>, highlighting the need for discussion regarding more frequent driver screenings. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n Kalarritis: \u201cI\u2019ve calculated a 1-hour delay\u2014not the normal route, but an extra hour a day.
