“The World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims is a moving reminder each year of why road safety matters. We pause and remember that every premature death on the road creates a shockwave, the after-effects of which impact on families, friends, and colleagues for years after the tragedy. Almost every death is avoidable when we use the available tools. By applying these tools, safer roads need not be a distant dream but an achievable reality.” Antonio Avenoso, Executive Director, European Transport Safety Council (ETSC)
