If we are talking about the motor vehicle liability insurance I can say that the ruled amounts are much lower than the ceiling, which covers the insurance. Not to mention that even in the most common procedures, these people are not deprived of their driving licenses. There are penalties for going through the red light, but no administrative consequences are provided. The motor vehicle liability insurance is always much lower than the insurance and the company simply registers the accident and the insurance increases by one percentage point. This is unfortunate because ways could really be found to integrate these people into society and to realize what had happened. It should take the form of "I did something wrong, I understand that and inform other people." Personally, I understand it from the way people tell me about how to drive."

At the end of our conversation, Phaedon Karidakis stressed how important it is for a person to set high goals, however difficult they may seem. "When we started to build the overpass, people asked me many times whether I believed it would happen. I would like to quote Che Guevara, "Let's be realistic and look for the impossible." After expressing his gratitude to all who helped building the overpass, he repeated that all, especially young people, should understand that both their and other people's lives are in their hands. "This is a value and few people realize its size. I already know and try to tell others. The price that some people have to pay for the negligence of others is very high. Therefore, society has to realize this."

He gave as an example, although very bitter, an incident, while his son was in the hospital. "When Solon was in intensive care, people's fear of bird flu and vaccines was in full swing. The discussion was about whether to be vaccinated or not, many people had died from the vaccine, etc. One day, there was a doctor who brought vaccines. A colleague of his asked him what to do to prevent getting the flu. And he answered, "Cars. While we are talking, in our hospital ten children have died due to accidents. However, nobody talks about them." Two thousand people lose their lives in this way each year, without anyone knowing about it. The doctor said, "Do not talk about the flu, but be careful with the cars."
