Traffic code, here's what changes and why it won't reduce the number of victims

The article discusses proposed changes to Italy’s Road Code aimed at reducing road fatalities, highlighting current statistics and the reasons behind the reforms. It notes that globally, over 1.19 million people die annually in traffic accidents, while in Italy, 3,159 deaths were recorded in 2022, with urban areas accounting for most incidents. The reform includes stricter measures against driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs, requiring the installation of an 'alcolock' device for repeat offenders. It also addresses distracted driving by increasing penalties for using mobile phones while driving. However, enforcement remains challenging due to limited tools for detecting such violations.
