«Seguridad Vital» films in Salamanca

The program broadcast by TVE on Sundays at 9:30 AM is presented and directed by Carlos García-Hirschfeld and Marta Solano. It is a public service program that combines the vision, experience, and real cases of vehicle drivers, cyclists, motorcyclists, and pedestrians. With an entertaining and didactic style, it is aimed at all audiences to transmit values, key insights, and advice behind the wheel. The team will send 2 people to Salamanca and will record the section "La Móvil de Seguridad Vital" (The Vital Safety Mobile), which travels across Spanish geography asking people about anecdotes, things they dislike about other drivers, things they would change, etc., all related to the theme of Vital Safety; in Plaza Anaya, a vehicle will be set up where passersby will be asked about all these issues.

The program has different segments such as:

The Interview: where the program invites a well-known personality into their car to share their relationship with road safety, when they got their license, how they drive, what their biggest mistakes are behind the wheel, on a motorcycle, riding a bicycle, or as a pedestrian.

The Radar: where attitudes that are as incorrect as they are frequent when driving are reported. From the danger of using a mobile phone while driving to the dangers, for example, of a poorly signposted intersection. It is a space for viewer participation, where they can send their videos and their own complaints.

The Laboratory: where situations and circumstances that drivers face every day on the road are tested firsthand.

Technology and Future: a segment to remember that innovation in technology applied to two and four-wheeled vehicles never rests.

The Rearview Mirror: a moment for nostalgia and looking back to verify that the changes in recent years concerning road safety have been gigantic. Old traffic campaigns are remembered, what the roads were like back then, and how humans have been able to evolve their machines to limits unthinkable until very recently.

You Can Avoid It: people who have been involved in traffic accidents remind us that although we always think these things happen to others, they can also happen to us.

The City Council of Salamanca, through the Salamanca Film Commission, has collaborated with the program providing information and filming locations, in addition to processing the corresponding permits to carry out the work.
