"Although, last year, the number of road deaths in Lithuania fell by half, the road wars continue both in Lithuania and throughout the EU. In 2009, 35 000 people were killed in Europe and 1 500 000 were injured, while material damage exceeded EUR 130 billion. I voted in favour of this report, because it aims to halve the number of deaths by 2020. The document calls on EU governments to pay more attention to road infrastructure and ensure better cooperation between the Member States. Until now, if your driving licence is taken away in one EU Member State, it is still possible to obtain a duplicate in another Member State if you live or work there, and this is wrong. It is therefore necessary to establish an EU system for exchanging information on documents. One of the report’s innovative proposals is also important – to install alcohol sensors in all new cars, which would prevent a car from being started if they detect that the driver is at all drunk. It is right to propose increasing fines – drivers who have had a licence for less than two years should be subject to a zero alcohol rule when they take the wheel. Many accidents could also be avoided by using simpler means of prevention: better located road signs, lighting and vigilant traffic police."@en1
