Human Error: The Shocking Truth Behind Brazil's Road Accidents

Road Safety in Brazil: Human Error Takes Center Stage in May Yellow Campaign Brazil is facing a critical road safety challenge, with a staggering 90% of accidents attributed to human error, according to the National Road Safety Observatory. This alarming statistic is the focus of a recent video released by Estadão in conjunction with May Yellow 2025, a national road safety awareness campaign. The video features interviews with journalist Arthur Caldeira and professor Alexandre Buccini, who emphasize the shared responsibility of all road users, from pedestrians to motorists. Caldeira states, "The data shows that responsible mobility is a human responsibility; we all have a fundamental role in building a safer traffic environment." Buccini adds, "All traffic rules, from signaling to changing lanes, demand respect for pedestrian crossings." The video concludes with a call to action, urging viewers to reflect on their role in creating safer roads. The initiative, sponsored by Uber, highlights the importance of collective action in addressing this critical issue and underscores the need for improved road safety awareness in Brazil.
