"European road safety statistics are appalling. Due to the stupidity of irresponsible drivers, thousands of people are killed or left permanently disabled. This is why standardised legislation in the European Union and its application to new technologies is a priority. A further step is an improvement in the infrastructure, particularly in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe, where the quality of roads leaves a lot to be desired and has caused accidents on more than one occasion. This is why monitoring is essential to ensure that these countries make proper use of funding made available for building new roads, motorways and railways. Modern rail transport systems would help to reduce traffic on the roads and to replace lorries, which are especially dangerous to other road users.
I would also like to draw attention to the need for education from an early age. Future drivers should be taught the basics of good behaviour on the roads as soon as possible and should be given good examples to follow."@en1
