Decade of Action for Road Safety 2011-2020 by World Health Organization (WHO)
Governments, international agencies, civil society organizations and private companies from more than 100 countries are launching the Decade of Action for Road Safety 2011-2020.
From Tanzania to Sri Lanka and from Namibia to Mexico, presidents and prime ministers are expressing their commitment and launching national plans for the Decade.
To symbolize the launch, national monuments are illuminated with the road safety "tag", the new symbol for the Decade, from New York City, to Rio de Janeiro, Warsaw, Sydney, Moscow, Colombo and Geneva. These events mark the start of the Decade which seeks to save 5 million lives over the ten-year period.

The Decade of Action on Road safety has opened the window for global collaboration. Our efforts should not be limited to our environment, regions or countries. We should consider the killing of any person in any country by road traffic accident as our collective responsibility to prevent further killing of any soul by road traffic accident

I think that another thing that WHO in cooperation with the authorities should prevent, is the bad "ethos" that is routed to the citizents/
There are plenty of Movies, that portray as cool, People that drive like MAD into the streets, either chasing bad guys, either even challenging the Police.
And after all these Years that TV was projecting that kind of driving ethos, we end up with things like that.
Test Drive Shows, in wich profesional drivers, act like stundmen, while they are supposed not only to talk about car extras, but car safety.
Having them acting like that, has a Big impact in the driving behaviour of hundreds of thousnats of people.

and think how much imprtant it is, that that kind of behaviour, when it is allowed on TV, is allowing to a big number of young and irresponsible drivers, to behave too like standmen.
