Valentina Borgogni, who lost her brother in a fatal car accident 19 years ago, is calling for stricter penalties and increased controls to combat reckless driving. Borgogni, founder of the organization named after her brother, works to improve road safety by organizing events and providing support to families who have lost loved ones. She is particularly concerned about the continued incidents at the same fatal intersection where her brother died, despite the installation of cameras. With two deaths in one week, Borgogni highlights the issue of irresponsible behavior on the roads and the need for a cultural shift in understanding the risks involved. She identifies dangerous trends such as live streaming and taking selfies while driving, which need to be tackled to prevent further tragedies. Borgogni advocates for harsher penalties and increased policing, emphasizing that cameras alone are insufficient. She also calls for mandatory sensors on heavy vehicles, urging the government to provide national guidelines rather than leaving it up to individual municipalities. In addition to her advocacy work, Borgogni is involved in prevention campaigns that target both young people and adults, as she believes that irresponsible behavior is not exclusive to one age group.
