For years, our roads have become lawless zones due to killer drivers who, in 2025, caused 4,500 deaths and 57,000 injuries, leaving some victims disabled for life.
This is a major problem, unfortunately exacerbated by a lax system plagued by the use of fake technical inspection documents (as seen in the tragic accident at Oued El Harrach).
The victims of these "road terrorists" are countless and spare no one: men, women, children, schoolchildren, and the elderly.
Citizens continuously implore the State—whose primary mission is to protect its people—to put an end to these killers.
It is with this in mind that the measures within the new traffic law may appear "harsh," yet they are standard practice in many other countries.
These measures in no way hinder the many drivers who respect both the rules of the road and human life.
Alas, as usual, certain parties that have sunk into moral bankruptcy have escalated rhetoric against these measures—measures long demanded by citizens to end the road terrorism that plunges Algerian families into mourning daily. These parties are peddling the false notion that the new laws will cause job losses for those earning a living in the transport sector.
Those behind this despicable manipulation show no respect for the victims of road terrorism or their families. They stand in flagrant contradiction to moral and political ethics, trying to convince people that this is an infringement on freedom—even the freedom to kill.
What is truly bizarre is that this law has not yet been voted on, much less promulgated, proving that all these manipulations are merely attempts to disrupt public order.
