PT senator’s proposal stipulates mechanism for truck drivers, app drivers, taxi drivers and motorcycle taxi drivers
A project is being processed in the Senate that implements an emergency communication system in the vehicles of drivers who work professionally, to increase safety during travel. The proposal, from the senator (PL-MT), was forwarded to the Public Security Commission (CSP) for analysis.
The text () inserts into the Brazilian Traffic Code () the creation of a technological mechanism, virtual or physical, that functions as an emergency alarm, so that truck drivers, app drivers, taxi drivers and motorcycle taxi drivers can notify security forces if they are victims of crimes in their vehicles.
The PT senator argued that reports of crimes occurring inside vehicles on duty are frequent, mainly by app drivers. “The high circulation of people in these cars increases vulnerability, as there is a constant exchange of passengers without prior identification or control, which facilitates the actions of criminals. Furthermore, the restricted environment of vehicles and the impossibility of predicting the behavior of occupants creates a scenario conducive to crimes.”he states.
The project suggests the national extension of a program, implemented in Mato Grosso, which is effective in discouraging the actions of potential criminals, by knowing the existence of an immediate mechanism for contacting the police, and significantly increasing the probability of a quick and effective intervention. accurate because of instant notification.
According to the text, the use of the device will be optional, and the costs related to its development, implementation, maintenance and use may be passed on to drivers who choose to use it.
