Road Safety: Motion.
The Minister of State referred to the Australian link. The road safety campaign was based on the Australian model, yet in Australia road deaths were cut by 50%. In view of this we should not be quick to congratulate ourselves. Measures were introduced very slowly and much remains to be done. Last year 379 people were killed on the roads. Families have lost fathers, mothers, elderly parents, grandparents and children.
