More than 1 million people around the world are killed every year in road traffic accidents, with an additional 20-50 million injured or permanently disabled. This is equivalent to approximately 3,000 deaths every day. Although accounting for only 40% of the world's vehicle fleet, more than 80% of the fatalities, including 96% of all children killed in road traffic accidents, occur in low income countries. The total cost of road crashes and resultant deaths and injuries in developing societies amounts to US$65 billion - more than the annual development assistance that these countries receive.
Excellent, excellent video.
It should be regularly shown on TV all over the english-speaking world.
I would like to formally request TNT, as a contributor to the most excellent Fleet Forum Fleet Safety Guide, to have this video dubbed into simple French for showing in Francophone West Africa, an vast area which suffers greatly from road traffic fatalities. (Subtitles would not be as appropriate for this audience).
Thank you from a driver instructor just returned from a 12-day course in Mali.
