I have a suggestion for reducing road accidents. The project of an automatic brake. It functions by limiting and maintaining required speed in or outside the city. It will also allow cars which have priority to pass promptly. These brakes should be programed for areas such as hospitals, schools and residential areas. These brakes will be controlled electronically as directed by roads and streets. Waiting for your reply. We'll give you a detailed definition. Thank you.

The main cause of road accidents is that driving schools, their bargaining and claim of bribery in order to get the driving licence and raising the price of taking the exam in a chaotic way at prices which help the owners of these schools with teaching candidates properly. Even if they do teach them, they do it at a short and inadequate time: 10mn, 15mn or 20mn at the most. Thank you.

In the name of God most gracious most merciful. Peace and prayer upon the most honourable prophet, our master Mohamed. I would like to add a comment about road accidents and the psychological role associated with the phenomenon. The general feature of individuals has an important role in these accidents. So does the strong inclination behind deepening concern and psychological problems which individuals carry in the street. These things might create a deep impact in terms of carelessness, high blood pressure, a feeling of faintness sometimes and related symptoms. This alwyas makes the individual prey to these accidents. Therefore, there should be a consideration of these symptoms which might lead to serious accidents and the ruin of individuals either by direct death or slow death as a result of recklessness and negligence of safety goals. We need temperate driving and calmness in driving. Thank you for this opportunity.

The most causes of traffic accidents are attributed to driving schools charging them with all the responsibility of what happens in our country. In my personal opinion, there are many causes for the accidents. The owners of driving schools couldn’t bargain about the driving licence if the trainees don’t come to these schools instead of others which work according to law. Such words are just a pretext to get the licence. There are also many causes of accidents such as the old cars, violations during technical inspection, impracticality of roads, lack of control on roads by using modern methods such as the radar…Therefore, there are many causes for the road accidents. In order to prevent them, all the available powers, material and human tools should be used with the conviction that change to the best is possible. Thank you.

The real problem is with driving schools. They are just people who want money. By God, their only concern is money. (They don't care whether you learn or not. Even the ten legally stipulated hours aren't respected. I tell you that poor ordinary people can no longer have a driving licence).

To the Algerian minister of transport, don’t you see sir that the rule of withdrawing the driving license was failure in Algeria? The evidence is that Algeria was ranked 4 on the world level in road accidents. On the other hand, there are negative results. Powerful people and those who are related to them aren’t subject to the rule of withdrawing the driving license. It is only applied to the poor people who aren’t close to power. So how it is conceivable, Mr Minister, that a person who earns a living with his driving license by working as a private or public driver, when he unintentionally commits a mistake, his driving license is taken from him. Even if he earns a living with it. Sir, I hope that you will adopt the rule of points and impose rules for driving schools. Sir, the aim for the implementation of such a law is to stop the terrorism of roads. However, we see the opposite. The terrorism of roads and terrorism of the administration by withdrawing the driving license and suspending the livings of people have increased. The only blame of these people is that they have no powerful relatives. Here the citizen feels humiliation and favouritism in a law which was enacted to protect the citizen instead of abusing of him and depriving him of his rights. However, there are some abuses by officers implementing the public order and a misinterpretation of the law. The rule of withdrawing the driving licence has become a sanction imposed any time on ordinary people. Sir, the understanding of those who implement the law is different from the understanding of the legislators. There are gaps on the rule of withdrawing the driving license. The best evidence is the high rate of road terrorism. The citizen should be protected from the terrorism of the administration and favouritism in withdrawing the driving licence and roads terrorism. This is my opinion and the opinion of many Algerians. Don’t wait until things get worse. Then the aim of this rule not to fight road terrorism but the humiliation of the citizen, abuse of him, injustice against him and suspending his living and the living of his Algerian sons.

Driving schools aren’t the cause of road accidents. The first and main cause is the recklessness of drivers. They don’t respect traffic, drive at a high speed and the increasing number of vehicles. In my opinion, sanctions should target everyone without exceptions. Fines should also be raised for infractions. Teaching traffic rules should be generalized at college and high school so that we create a generation well-educated about traffic from an early age. The numbers of patrols of the security of roads should be enhanced as well as speed radars in all districts and municipality. I think that the Algerian people don’t have a traffic education. Finally, the main cause is the carelessness of drivers.

اريالله محمد Posted 2008-10-07

The main cause of road accidents is the trainer of the driver that is the driving coach and examiner who don’t care about the life of the citizen. The trainer is concerned about financial income and quick success. The examiner is concerned about his reputation so that it will be said that he is tough.

عبد الله Posted 2008-10-30

In the name of God the most gracious the most merciful. In my quality of director of a driving school, I think that the causes of traffic accidents are the sale of licenses without training and without taking the exams. I ask the minister of transport to investigate in exam records of the directorate of transport and driving schools. For example in my school, in 2008, success rate is 35% but in some other schools it is 90%.

chamsse ddine Posted 2008-12-05

Hi all- If the minister had not first changed and re-changed the minimum age to get a driver’s license, there would not be so many accidents. Indeed, if someone likes driving at a young age and then, when he is 18 years old, they get a license, then BAM! Because of his excitement, he is going to make a mistake and there you have it: an accidents. Moreover, in my opinion, the minimum age should be reduced 17 or younger. If possible, make the driver’s license something boring so that, in the beginning, we get a lot of young people but, after a short while, you will notice that the number shrinks overall. I do not know if it would be this way, but, in any case, this is my opinion. Oh, one more thing: if we were to make roadways for crazy young people that would prevent them from driving full throttle on the highways. That is all.

In the name of God the most gracious the most merciful. I'm a candidate to take the driving license exam but I am subject to the pressures of the owners of the driving school to facilitate the exam for candidates. I am also disturbed by candidates. They know nothing and ask you to help me as they say they are fed up with the driving license but in reality, having to pay 1000 dinars for the exam. This money has no legal foundation. The only concern of the director of the school is money and maintain the car in a good condition. But the concern of the poor candidate is to pass. He knows nothing. The candidate is confused. If he works hard he won’t be good in the eyes of both of them. But if he let it go, he will lose his source of living. May God guide everyone to for the good and interest of the country and the people. A greeting to the honourable directors of the driving schools.

I liked very much these articles about road accidents in Algiers. Therefore, we mush stop high speed which is present now in our country. I advise all drivers to reduce speed.

عباس Posted 2009-05-06

In the name of God the most gracious the most merciful. As director of a driving school, I say that fingers of the hand are not all the same. They are honest directors of driving schools who do their jobs in the best way. It is not logical to hide the sun with the sieve and charge driving schools with all accidents which happen on Algerian roads. We shouldn't forget security officers and their violations of law, withdrawing driving licenses which increased bribery. In order to restore back license, you have to pay a significant amount. Therefore, I suggest that honest police officers be granted all powers within law by providing them civil unrecognized cars and assign them to roads in order to control reckless drivers and implement law on the site so that there will be no intervention or favouritism.

فتحي Posted 2009-05-14

To his Excellency the minister of transport. Here some important news which concern every Algerian citizen, safety on roads and prevention of road accidents…There are some examiners who work in the town of Reghaia who ask for bribery from directors of driving schools for the success of candidates in the exam. Those who refuse will see their candidates fail in the exam. There is also flirting with women candidates, asking for their phone numbers and talking to them using indecent words. I hope that the minister of transport takes necessary measures in order to address this very soon because the morality of most examiners is deteriorating continuously.

سالم Posted 2009-05-28

I am a citizen who wants to get a driving licence, an independent candidate. The president of the office of traffic in the directorate of transport in the province of Skikda forced me to day a sum of money in order to get an invitation to take the exam. I was also forced to pay money to get the driving licence. The problem lies in the bureaucracy of the officers in the transport directorate. They push people not to learn well and thus cause accidents.

مدير مدرسة سياقة Posted 2009-05-28

In reply to the examiner from Cheraga, the problem of the candidate is that he sees another candidate in the same level or he might even be better than him and he passes through mediation. But the candidate who has no mediator doesn't succeed. If you are against bargaining of directors of driving school, why do you put pressure on those who work legally? This is clear in the rate of success in comparison with the results of those who offer money even of his candidates have good results. Where is justice, justice, justice? With my respects to all examiners.

بشير Posted 2009-05-29

The Algerian citizen has become irresponsible. The main cause of road accidents is the mentality of society which intentionally doesn't respect traffic laws. On the other hand, they don't resist in the face of corruption and legal manipulations (bribery and favouritism). On the other hand, you find him looking himself for ways to buy driving licenses by going to schools which go on in this way. He ignores respectable schools as he looks for an easy and rapid way. Moreover, there is an absence of control by the ministry of corruption and injustice in the directorates of transport and examiners whose only concerns is the received money.

أحمد 28 Posted 2009-05-29

All the work you do to eliminate road accidents is acceptable. However, there are some accidents which you contribute to directly such as the slowers in which world criteria aren't respected in addition to the work of traffic police. The two police officers in charge of traffic who work at the same time as every police officer gives the order for the car to move without taking into consideration the order given by his friend. Therefore, some collisions happen between cars in addition to the neglect of traffic signs which are removed by some people who have citizenship soul especially for signs which warn of a slow down.

الضحية Posted 2009-06-09

Everything you have said has its share of truthfulness. However, you have forgotten the roots of thorns planted in flames which can be seen only after exploring it and and our society has become reaping its poisons. The examiner is the victim of pressures, temptations, threats of expulsion and even death. Driving schools are also victims as they are heard only if they pay. Those who pay more decide more. The candidate is just willing to rescue himself. When you see his attitude at the exam and after getting the driving license, you wouldn't believe it is the same candidate who sat for the exam.

We heard many times about selling and buying legal documents. We read very often in papers about bribery and the plan of this side or the other. Terrorism of the administration has often hindered development projects and deprived people with rights from their rights established in the constitution. We also heard about or some of us experienced operations of snapping and tearing on all the national territory openly and publicly. Yes, they have become constitutionalized and established in the laws of mercenaries and suckers of the money of the people. The flesh of people is grilled by everyone. Their fat is eaten by anyone who think that responsibility and serving the citizen is a decoration. Simple people whose bones are snapped by those who want wealth and fame without any right. This national farce is summed up in a red piece of paper. Everyone understands because it is the driving license or the theft license concluded between the oppressed citizen and driving schools which have become expert in bribery, eating money of others wrongly on the one hand and engineers (just by name) because they don't belong or understand anything in the science and world of engineering. They are only good in extortion and stealing citizens whose only concern is to get the driving license at any price. This is at the detriment of their skill and learning driving. Finally, the institution gets a new form of terrorists. Yes they are criminals, terrorists of road and traffic safety. Hence we logically understand that bribers and those who receive bribes are cursed. They commit their crimes in the fabric of an Algerian institution based on non competency, fraud and deceit. This leads often to taking souls of innocents, losses in equipment and insurance contract.

In the name of God the Merciful, the Beneficent. The cause of the horrific road accidents in my country is man-made. It is featured in the following factors: lack of the feeling of responsibility in driving vehicles, the most important factor is the infrastructures which are no longer suitable for the huge number of vehicles which increased at a high speed recently. Therefore, I ask all concerned officials to take all necessary measures to stop wasting innocent souls. You will be rewarded for this.

مصطفى عين صالح Posted 2009-07-16

Why do some transport engineers accept bribery even if their wages are very high? Why have we never heard about a case of an engineer transferred to justice for corruption? Is there not a clear flow in this regard?

عبدالقادر Posted 2009-08-11

Peace, and mercy of God be upon you. First of all, the cause of road accidents is the inadequate training at driving schools. Secondly: corruption. Who causes more accidents adults or young people? Thank you.

توفيق Posted 2009-08-19

In the name of God the Merciful, the Beneficent. As a manager of a driving school, I will present a few points as an opinion. There is so much debate about road accidents without finding a solution to this problem which has become a terrific obsession for everyone. Everyone speaks and deplores them without any solution. He beats me and he cries then hurries up to complain. People who talk about road accidents and road terrorism are real terrorists because if everyone thinks, makes himself accountable while driving and be aware of these causes: traffic education which is totally absent for the Algerian drivers of most of them. The theoretical or practical training is useless for many reasons including the absence of national or local forums; absence of of model lessons by an ideal teacher in presenting traffic law or driving courses so that he will be an example for other colleagues, the way in which the exam is led in isolated areas while training is carried out on worn out roads, regular road controls, no to radars because they're useless; absence of tools of theoretical training, absence of assistance by competent ministry because it is expensive, absence of coordination between managers of schools and directorates of transport or the ministry.

The truth is that those who say that traffic accidents are not caused by drivers or driving schools. It is the famous corrupt driving examiners who have billions and mansions and pools. The make their own laws without any dignity and provide the famous driving licenses to whomever they want. There are driving examination centres that they have made disappear into thin air!

I thank very much the administrators who opened this page dedicated to free comment. A comment about traffic accidents also called today road terrorism. We have noticed recently that some Chinese people from the Chinese company which is building the east-west highway in our dear country Algeria drive trucks. This is unauthorized in our country according to agreements signed between the Chinese company and the ministry of public works. This is because the minister Ghol (may God protect him from every evil because he is the minister of huge projects as Algeria was waiting for such leading men) wants to secure jobs for our young people in driving trucks. This will reduce unemployment. Algeria asked the Chinese company to bring Chinese workers whose skills are not present in Algeria to build huge projects including engineers and experts. As to drivers, we have thousands of them. Moreover, Chinese workers have destroyed and damaged all small and provincial roads linked to the highway. This is because they drive at high speed, they don't respect traffic laws. In case of a traffic accident, there is no truck driver of the Chinese company who has his documents. This leads to quarrels between Chinese drivers and civil drivers in case of an accident causing material or physical damage. In the case of an accident causing physical damage, it is hard for security forces to interfere in order to establish reports and transfer them to justice because of the insufficiency of documents or lack of them under the pretext that the Chinese official chairman of the regional project (Al Hayat base) refuses to submit documents to Algerian drivers.

Why do examiners take bribes? There are many factors leading to examiners taking bribes, including, most importantly, the low wages of examiners and the high cost of living. This has pushed many of them to look for other sources of revenue, even through bribes. Many countries offer examiners in the traffic service very high wages in order to prevent them from accepting bribes and violating applicable laws. Moreover, there is the absence of the rule of law, in addition to the weakness or absence of oversight bodies and complaints services at the Ministry of Transport. As a result, there is a lack of accountability. The lack of oversight and follow-up leads to the absence of transparency. Therefore, those in charge of these exams have wide freedom, with little fear of accountability and transparency. This encourages them to abuse of their functions for personal interests, which is punishable by law.
