Launch of safe motorcycle driving course

Considering that according to the last official records, almost half of the victims of traffic accidents in Argentina were motorcyclists, a percentage that has been increasing in recent years; the Gonzalo Rodriguez Foundation, with the support of the ANSV, is developing from June 11 its training "Training of Trainers for safe motorcycle riding".

On this occasion, the training is aimed at 60 license issuers from all the municipalities of Misiones and Entre Rios, given that the mortality rates (deaths per 100,000 inhabitants) and fatality rates (deaths per 10,000 vehicles) in road accidents in the NEA -together with those of the NOA- are the highest in the country.

The Statistical Yearbook of the ANSV's Road Observatory Directorate states that in Argentina the mortality rate in road accidents is 12.3, a significant figure considering that the World Health Organization considers a disease with a rate higher than 10 to be an epidemic. At provincial level this number is 20.8 in Misiones and 14.1 in Entre Ríos.
