Putting the industry on the road to safety

摘要

IN OUR MODERN society, driving has become almost second nature for most people. Motorized travel is so common, people hardly think about it anymore. But what's not natural - and what people must think about - is the ever-increasing fatality rates associated with road accidents. According to the World Health Organization, road accidents kill 1.2 million people every year worldwide and injure 50 million more. WHO studies predict that if recent trends continue, the number of road deaths and injuries will rise by more than 60 percent between 2000 and 2020.
