This series, held between 26th May and 9th June at CaixaForum Madrid, also featured talks by Luis Montoro, professor of Road Safety at the University of Valencia, Ricardo Blasco, a social psychologist at the University of Barcelona and the philosopher and essayist José Antonio Marina.
The series was presented by Jordi Jané, fourth deputy speaker of the Spanish parliament and spokesman for the Road Safety and Traffic Accident Prevention Committee, Francisco Javier Criado, director general of the highways department and Miquel Roca i Junyent and Sergi Loughney, chairman and director respectively of the abertis foundation.
Both Jané and Criado praised the series of talks and the “sincere, rigorous record” of the abertis foundation in fostering debate about road safety.
Pere Navarro, director general of the traffic department, had the job of closing the event. Navarro described the rise in our society of efforts to achieve responsible mobility as a “silent revolution” and stated that, with the entry into force of the points system on driving licences, there has been an improvement in responsible behaviour on the part of drivers.
