The initiative forms part of the FIA’s continued commitment and support for the Commission for Global Road Safety and its Make Roads Safe campaign.
Jean Todt, FIA President said:
“We are one month away from one of the most important turning points in the history of Road Safety. In March the UN General Assembly is set to approve a Decade of Action for Road Safety, if this happens we could save five million lives over the next 10 years.
“I am pleased that WRC has also rallied itself behind the cause, helping give further exposure to the campaign and helping the Decade become a reality.”
Sébastien Loeb, six time World Rally Champion said:
“I support this campaign and other road safety initiatives. Road crashes kill on the same scale as Malaria, and it is important for long term action at the highest level in order to make roads safe.”
Kimi Räikkönen, former Formula One World Champion turned WRC driver said:“I am pleased to be able to lend my support to this campaign. It is important for us to use the high profile of our sport to highlight the terrible accidents occurring on the world’s roads, and even more importantly for us to help find a solution to these problems.”
