1.2 million deaths, 50 million injuries per year WHO estimate made in May 2008 of 2.4 million

deaths by 2030 #2 cause of death in 4 – 29 year olds (2002) #3 cause of death in 30 – 44 year olds (2002) 85% of casualties in low and middle income countries

Incalculable pain and suffering $65 billion per year financial cost in low and middle

income countries – and growing fast

This $65 billion is a prize that we can winby investing in road safety

..and if we do not, we will continue to lose more than a million people every year3

Who owns the Road Safety Problem?

• The police?

• The road users?

• The Government?

• Society? Who should solve the road safety

problem??? The one who created it? Who gets the return on investments?5
