"Although the number of people killed in road traffic accidents in the EU dropped by 36% between 2001 and 2009, the fact is that 35 000 people died on Europe’s roads in 2009, and 1.5 million were injured, many of those seriously and resulting in disability. The report states that the number of deaths on the roads in 2009 is equivalent to the death toll that would result ‘if some 250 medium-sized airliners full of passengers were to crash, an unimaginable scenario’, which is a very clear and vivid analogy. It is indeed unimaginable, but these accidents are a direct result of our collective indifference. As I come from a country where the rate of road accidents is alarming, I can only support any measures seeking to reduce accident rates and improve road safety."@en1
