from World Carfree News #62 – December 2008:
– Blood on the Asphalt
It is not surprising that 2007 was once again a year where thousands
of people died on the world’s roads. What is surprising is that little
proper action is taken to deal with this unnecessary hecatomb. A
report published by the International Transport Forum is chilling:
over 150 000 people lost their lives and a further 6 million were
injured in road crashes in the 44 countries of the Forum that reported
data for 2007. What further proof that cars are killing machines is
needed?
