    "content": "(Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Madam Temporary Speaker, I cannot mention them. Madam Temporary Speaker, having said that, I just want to congratulate the Mover of this Motion which I find extremely useful for our country. The only thing that I would add is that I hope that we can think about other towns and cities, so that we do not have to pass a Motion or law for every city or town. Madam Temporary Speaker, many things have been said about the misuse of sirens. I want to agree with the speakers who have spoken before me, that this is a big problem. First of all, it is true that, perhaps, sirens are misused. I believe that we are one country where we have too many people who move in convoys and sirens. That has partly complicated this problem. Every person who gets some little power somewhere wants a chase car with a siren. That has really complicated matters. So, I really hope that going forward, we can regularize and say, for example, that other than the emergency vehicles which we are talking about here, who else is entitled to special clearance of traffic, so that we do not really experience what we have at the moment? Madam Temporary Speaker, I heard some of my colleagues who spoke before me say that in some countries you do not see police officers on the roads controlling traffic. Some of them also said that in some countries even at midnight people will comply with traffic lights. I think just to contextualize, it is important to say that sometimes the reason people comply is not only because of the ethical issues. But on those roads there are cameras all over the place. So, you do not need a physical person there. Even if it is at 2.00 a.m. the camera will record, that a certain car, registration this, violated this traffic law. So, you will just find in your post office box a ticket requiring you to pay a fine. If we can put such cameras on our roads, that could be actually an encouragement to move towards non-human control of our traffic.
