María Antonia Pulgarín

María Antonia Pulgarín is the director of the National Road Safety Agency (ANSV) in Colombia. She has been in the news for proposing a significant transformation of the current driver's licensing system, advocating for a points-based model aimed at enhancing road safety and ensuring that drivers possess the necessary skills and knowledge for responsible vehicle operation. Her initiative includes a gradual licensing system and a point sanction system designed to reduce accidents, particularly among young drivers, by implementing more stringent requirements for obtaining and maintaining a driver's license.
