Extractions: Peer Review Status: Internally Peer Reviewed Driving safety concerns us all especially the elderly. So much has been achieved, yet there is much to be done. Motor-vehicle related deaths have been reduced from 18 per million vehicle miles traveled in 1925 to 2 per million in 1997. In this period vehicle miles traveled have increased from one billion to 2,500 billion. The motorization of America means that six times as many people travel today as in 1925, vehicles have increased eleven fold and miles traveled ten fold. In 1966 following 5 years of increasing car fatalities a prevention program was instituted by the National Highway Safety Administration by the Highway Safety Act. Dr. William Hadden proposed studying the situation like an epidemic infection might be studied as public health problem. This meant studying interactions before, during and after crashes, considering the host (or driver and pedestrian) the infectious agent (or motor vehicle) and environmental factors (or the highway). Many changes in driver education, vehicle and highway design have resulted. Cars are now built with head rests, energy absorbing steering wheels, shatter resistant windshields and safety belts.

Countries with strong drunk driving laws and effective enforcement have fewer alcohol-related fatalities. Graduated licensing laws, that allow teenagers and adult novice drivers to learn to drive over time, help reduce the disproportionately high fatality rates of inexperienced drivers. We support initiatives and programs encouraging safe driving behaviors, including reduced driver distraction.

Extractions: POLICING IN CENTRAL AND EASTERN EUROPE: Comparing Firsthand Knowledge with Experience from the West, Ljubo Zajc Slovenian socio-political upheavals in 1991 caused changes in the characteristics of the road safety elements. The construction of a highway system in Slovenia has proved to be a major political targets. Concerning the pressure of the market economy, liberalisation of prices and international interest in connecting the eastern and western parts of Slovenia, accelerated building of the highway system seems a logical solution. Traffic safety is one of the proxy arguments for promoting road construction. The following short and general scale of effective accident reducing measures reflect the level of their political importance: road related measures (construction of highways) are at the top of the scale, followed by measures related to police traffic control, with information and education being at the bottom of the scale. The traffic safety situation and existence of different entropy reasons in the national traffic safety system put a special importance on traffic policing. Why? There are various answers to this question. Police traffic control and enforcement are measures for quick and relatively inexpensive intervention. Effectiveness of police surveillance measures without any local or national support (information, education, ......) are limited and short term. Traffic surveillance in democratic societies need more support and understanding from the public. The author believes that the police should build balance between police enforcement and prevention actions. How fast these goals will be reached does not strictly depend on police organisation but also on extensive public support and political readiness to start a joint effort in the preparation of the national traffic safety programme.

The NO Zone Whether you are sharing the road with a car, truck, bus, or other large vehicle, its important for safetys sake to obey traffic laws, abide by the rules of the road and drive defensively. According to the National Highway and Traffic Safety Administration, 71% of fatal multi-vehicle crashes involving a large truck are caused by the other vehicle. People in passenger vehicles are especially vulnerable in collisions with large trucks because of the great difference in weight between cars and large trucks. While heavy trucks account for 3% of all registered vehicles, they are involved in 13% of all fatal accidents. In 1998, ninety-eight percent of the fatalities in two-vehicle crashes involving passenger vehicles and large trucks were occupants of the passenger vehicle. Other NHTSA data reports that: One out of eight traffic crash fatalities in 1998 was the result of a collision involving a large truck.

Extractions: In Sweden, just one beer or glass of wine can land a driver in jail for up to six months. So when Volvo asked the Swedish government to waive the country's strict drunken driving laws to allow its test drivers to imbibe on the job, people noticed. Volvo is in the midst of testing a new technology designed to allow a car to take control of steering when a driver's reaction time is slowed because of intoxication or fatigue. The new safety system is still at the development stage and the company will not provide additional details other than to say its all about preventing accidents. If the request is granted, it would be the first exception to Sweden's drunk driving laws, which are among the world's toughest, the Swedish national broadcaster SVT reported. The company promises to only allow its drunk drivers to take the wheel on a Volvo test track near the west coast city of Gothenburg if the Swedish government grants permission. The special track is also the location of a Ford Motor Co. safety development facility. Ford owns Volvo.
