lpv:translated text	". Due to the large number of road victims, road safety has finally become a political issue. Public opinion is right to be indignant about the many vulnerable road users who are the victim of road traffic that kills. The Petersen report helps to do something about this. Cars should be safer not only for car drivers; they should also be safer for the vulnerable road users. I emphatically endorse the wish in the Petersen report that the European Parliament be involved in legislation in this area. Road safety cannot simply be the concern of the executive and car manufacturers. As long as increased car speeds are used as a sales argument, I shall remain suspicious of the industry. After all, it is impossible to cut down significantly the number of victims of road accidents if the speed on the roads is not reduced, if car drivers do not adapt their driving behaviour and if the infrastructure is not conducive to caution and safety. Road accidents are not natural disasters. We must prevent them."@en1
