traffic education
Over the years, ACBr has developed the social project #TrafficAndLives, a pioneering social responsibility initiative aligned with the FIA protocols for the creation, development, and promotion of partnerships that enable the implementation of actions aimed at reducing the number of traffic accidents through education and road prudence.
The program is in accordance with the Decade of Action for Road Safety, a United Nations treaty with governments around the world that have committed to taking new measures to prevent traffic accidents between 2011 and 2020. Two of the goals of this treaty are to halve the global number of deaths and injuries related to traffic and to encourage countries to implement best practices to make their roads safer.
Among the actions carried out by the project, the #CurtacomVida festival, supported by Bosch, was highlighted in the press for encouraging the creation of short videos (up to two minutes) with a critical and constructive perspective on mobility and road safety in the streets and roads of Brazil. The audience chose the two winning videos, which won a pair of tickets to watch the Brazilian Grand Prix of Formula 1 in 2016, a vehicle inspection voucher at the Bosch Service network, and a year of 24-hour automotive assistance from ACBr.
