9. Basic facts about road safety Seatbelts 30kph = 2 nd floor 50kph = 4 th floor 70 kph = 7 th floor 90kph = 11 th floor Speed and pedestrians 30kph = 5% dead 60kph = 40% dead 80kph = 95%+dead Alcohol Drunk driver 17x more likely to be in a fatal accident Speed reduction 1% reduction = -3% injury crashes = - 5% fatal crashes Car stopping distance at 50 kph = 13 m at 40kph = 8 m

10. Quick Wins ? 1 Speed reduction 2 Seatbelt wearing 3 Blackspot improvement programmes at each level of roads authority ( say identify / improve 25 worst locations in each country state roads and 4 main cities ?) could save 10-20% over 2-3 years = $480-960 millions Institution and capacity building National lead agency / Coordination body Trained Secretariat to support Road safety fund Capacity building Institutionalizing road safety
