"I voted in favour of the report on European road safety 2011-2020, as it highlights a number of initiatives designed to reach the objective of halving the number of road accident victims by 2020.
The report looks at the general issue of synergies and coordination, which must be among the main features of future actions in the road safety sector by ensuring that all European, national and local bodies play a part.
Specifically, the report sets out a number of measures that we must concentrate on in our forthcoming work. Above all, it emphasises improved training for road users, including harmonised European driving tests and health checks. In this vein, I think we ought to incentivise the use of a number of instruments such as the alcolock, which analyses the physical and mental state of the driver and prevents the vehicle from being started in the event of alcohol or drug abuse.
Secondly, the report examines road infrastructure and here I think it is essential to build and improve the service areas that are equipped for drivers. Such areas must be seen as an integral part of road infrastructure, both in the planning stages and during road widening initiatives."@en1
