Opening of the Seminar: Eric Howard, Jack Short and Fred Wegman |
 |
Eric Howard and Jack Short |
 |
Eric Howard: "All countries should aspire
to the long term elimination of death and serious
injuries on their roads and adopt a safe system
approach". |
 |
Fred Wegman: "We should 'fish where fish are' concentrating on
high risks and crash types where deaths and injuries are increasing,
but fish are everywhere so we must also move to a system approach". |
 |
Panel 2: Arve Kirkevold, Kate McMahon, Sanjivi Sundar, Jack Short,
Jacques Nouvier, Claes Tingvall |
 |
Claes Tingvall: "Targets should drive road safety strategies". |
 |
Sanjivi Sundar "Improving data on accidents is urgent, deaths that
occur after accidents are not recorded in India and the cause of accidents
is routinely attributed either to brake failure or
drunkenness". |

Panel debate: Mobilising Political Resources. Pere Navarro, Iain Cameron,
Rose McMurray, Isabelle Kardacz and Michèle Merli |
 |
Michèle Merli "Fatalities and serious injuries are not inevitable: we
must save lives, especially those of young people. All of society must be
mobilised and in France, we have witnessed the importance of effective
leadership at the very highest level". |
 |
Isabelle Kardacz announcing the holding of the 2nd European Road Safety Day, on 13 October 2008 |
 |
Pere Navarro "We have made enormous progress in reducing crashes on
the highways, our data reveals that the problem is worst now on suburban
roads where we must focus our efforts". |
 |
Rose McMurray "Setting aggressive national goals has allowed for
greater problem-solving and identification of innovative road safety
programs aimed at saving lives and mitigating injuries". |
