lpv:translated text	"I can endorse most of the aims of the report on road safety. Thirty-five thousand road deaths in Europe each year is a huge number. It is like an annual natural disaster, but the dead are usually anonymous and go unreported. When one thinks of the heated discussions about the victims of nuclear power stations – thousands in Chernobyl and thus far no fatalities in Fukushima – this is perplexing. I support many of the report’s proposals for technical improvements to vehicles and road networks. However, I am not an advocate of ever-stricter enforcement measures. Calling for a zero limit for blood alcohol is ridiculous, because most of those who drink and drive are well above the 1% mark, if not over 2%. Making it illegal for anyone to drive after a glass or two of wine is not the way to prevent irresponsible driving. I would also like to remind the critics that motorways are the safest roads, contributing only 6% of all deaths."@en1
