Terrorism. It's in the papers and on the television.
Politicians make speeches and pass legislation about it.
Are you scared of it? Yes?
Why?
About three thousand people died unjustly, prematurely, on 9/11. It changed the world.
On American roads more than 100 people die prematurely every day. A 9/11 a month. Every month.
If two jumbo jets a week fell out of the skies there'd be outrage, wouldn't there? But this happens more quietly: small tragedies spread across the country.
But's that's what the risk of being in or around cars is actually like.

Road safety is an interdisciplinary field. Successfully maximizing road safety requires a focused, comprehensive, well-planned, and multi-dimensional program. The program should allow the public sector, private enterprise, and civil society to work together toward a common goal. To ensure an effective and sustainable road safety program, strong support from political leaders is essential.
The road safety program is based on the integration of the 3 'Es' of
Education: for the leaders, road users, road agencies, police, school children, and the general public
Engineering: introduce safety conscious planning and design for roads and traffic schemes, and for remedial measures at accident blackspot locations
Enforcement: introduce policies for targeted enforcement aimed at changing unsafe road user behavior
To ensure the program is effective on a day-to-day basis, all involved agencies will be required to practice the 3 'Cs' of
Cooperation: develop joint road safety priorities and inter-agency working arrangements
Coordination: share information on traffic accidents, accident blackspots and road safety issues
Collaboration: develop solutions and plans to address specific road safety issues and monitor their effectiveness
