On a major thoroughfare in the region, a driver's divided attention — split between the road and a glowing screen — brought sudden violence to two motorcycle police officers carrying out routine patrol work on Rondon Pacheco. The incident is a familiar tragedy in its mechanics, yet striking in its target: those whose duty places them perpetually in harm's way, exposed and visible on roads where others' choices become their fate. It asks, again, the question modern traffic safety has long struggled to answer — why the gap between what we know and what we do remains so wide, and so costly.
