Global Road Safety 2011
The United States was a proud co-sponsor with Russia and more than 90 other nations of the UN General Assembly of Resolution 64/255 on March 3 of this year, calling for a Decade of Action on Global Road Safety. Today, road crashes claim 1.3 million lives each year, the equivalent of one death every 30 seconds. Increasingly the distracted driving epidemic is a global problem, as is drunk driving, driving at unsafe speeds, and the failure to use seatbelts, child restraints and helmets. By 2030 the World Health Organization projects that traffic crashes will climb from the ninth to the fifth leading cause of death worldwide, if the global community fails to act. website »
