Tales of traffic

What is the use of all that horse power if there’s a donkey driving?

It has happened to me last week, On Easter, one incident that shocked me.
I was at traffic lights at Unirii, sitting in the car with my sister and her boyfriend, when suddenly I heard behind me a bang and a jolt. Standing [...]

Zmeura has a wheel column

I decided to start a new column about the way driving goes in Bucharest. This started from the issues I have to confront as a newbie. And there are plenty of those.
I admit I do make mistakes, but the other drivers are as careless and mean as can be and make far bigger mistakes than [...]

Do You Know People Who Were Affected?

implica-t Comments (1)

If you are aware of people who were affected following road crashes, help us meet them!

Why? Because implica-T! sets out to provide support for those who were affected by road crashes.

This support may mean psychological or legal counselling, it may mean material support or simply moral support. Only together may we raise this support.

Also, we wish to stimulate a better response from authorities. We need to know what reactions you had following the crash, or what support. Was there a trial? How did it go? How did it end? What are the consequences on those affected? May we be of help in the actions you are taking? Can you provide other people going through similar situations advice and direction?

We can learn from one another and help each other make it through difficult situations.

Ideas from Greece

In Thessaloniki, close to the statue of Aristotle, first-aid demonstrations were being delivered.

I did not have the opportunity to find out which organisation was delivering them, and they were probably focusing on first-aid in case of drowning.

But I don’t see why the same thing could not be done here, for road crash cases.

What do you think?

One guy who wished to sell his car writes his phone number on a sheet of paper and sticks it on the rear window of the car. While he was in traffic, he receives a phonecall:

- Yes, hello! Who is this? guy-on-phone

- This is the Police, we are right behind you. Pull over, because you are not allowed to use your phone while driving!
