FIA Backs Make Roads Safe Campaign

The Federation Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA) has confirmed its support for the Make Roads Safe campaign at its annual meeting in Barcelona.

Max Mosley, President of the FIA, joined other leading officials of the FIA and more than 100 presidents of motoring organisations in personally signing the Declaration

The international federation, which is the world governing body for motor sport and the federal body for motoring organisations worldwide, adopted a Declaration backing the campaign and calling for action to ‘ensure that road safety takes its proper place on the agenda of the G8, United Nations, and other relevant regional groupings such as the European Union, the Asian Pacific Economic Community and the OECD.

The President of the FIA, Max Mosley, joined other leading elected officials of the FIA and more than 100 presidents of motoring organisations in personally signing the Declaration. The signing ceremony, and the Annual Meeting, were organised by the Royal Automobile Club of Catalunya (RACC). Max Mosley said: “Every day 3,000 people are killed on the world’s roads. The idea that this is inevitable must be challenged. In Formula One we have seen that better design of both cars and circuits have vastly reduced the risks in the sport. The same principles can work on the roads of developing countries, if political commitment, investment and effective enforcement are in place”.
