Cyclists who do not wear a safety vest or drivers who do not use the directionals are the protagonists of clashes that end in tragedy.
A video recorded on the Bogotá - Villavicencio road shows a driver who, in the midst of darkness, awaits the opportunity to make a forbidden turn. A truck, which apparently does not see it, hits it from behind. The impact sends him against an inter-municipal bus and several people are injured.
Another imprudence captured in the camera was that of two cyclists, on the Bogotá - Mosque road, who wore neither a vest nor any reflective materials that allowed them to see them in the shadows.
This lack of culture and road safety has caused a high number of fatalities on the roads. There are more than 2,000 dead in low-light sites, says General William Salamanca, director of the Traffic Police.
With the Make Visible campaign, the authorities are looking for road actors to become aware of the importance of using reflective clothing at night.
