Description
It is a global scandal that road traffic crashes in low- and middle-income countries have claimed over a million lives, and caused upwards of 20 million injuries, every year for over a decade. The United Nations and the World Health Organization have been unsuccessful in reducing this tragedy with a faulty and overly complex plan. In the 40 years after 1972, road traffic fatalities in 23 high-income OECD countries decreased by 63% even though distance travelled tripled.
