	Shell in the Middle East \| Road Safety - October 2005
		Global studies show that in 2002 road traffic deaths were eighth on the list of all causes of death globally and that by 2020 road traffic deaths will be third on that list.
		The majority of those who died or were injured from road accidents were between the ages of 15 and 44, and 18 per cent of those who died were between the age of 5 and 15 years.
		The objective of this countrywide programme is to encourage schools to participate in road safety-related activities, help students understand that they have a responsibility towards road safety and to impress on young minds the importance of maintaining discipline on the road.

	Roads & Highways: Road Safety
		An estimate of the total national cost of road accidents will help government's to realise the heavy economic losses being incurred annually as described in the "gross output" method of accident costing and socio-economic aspects of road accidents in developing countries.
		Road user education and awareness raising is an important part of any road safety strategy.
		Road safety research aims to improve knowledge about factors contributing to road crashes, effects of different countermeasures, and development of new and more effective safety measures.

	Car accidents - Wikicars
		This argument is disputed—for example, the road toll in Australia is only about half that of the UK, despite the latter country's more than threefold size of population in an area 1/30th of the size.
		Although caution is advised when there is unexpected activity on the side of a road, a car with a flat tire on the side of a highway often causes as much slow down as a real accident would due to rubbernecking.
		This increased risk for the young is known to the insurance companies, and premiums reflect that; however, very high premiums for young male drivers do not seem to have had a significant impact on the accident statistics, suggesting that these drivers simply accept the high premiums as part of the "on road" costs of mobility.

	General information about road tests - Wisconsin Department of Transportation
		A road test may be required if the Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) has good cause to question a person's ability to operate a motor vehicle safely due to a physical or medical disability.
		Road tests are conducted by appointment at DMV Service Centers located throughout the state.
		If problems are detected, the road test may be denied; therefore, it is wise to refer to the appropriate driver handbook for a list of the items that will be checked in the vehicle inspection so you can ensure everything is working properly before you arrive for your road test appointment.

	Global Road Safety Partnership - Why are road crashes a problem? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		A recent review of road deaths world-wide estimated that between 750,000 and 880,000 lives were lost in road crashes in 1999, a conservative estimate compared with earlier WHO figures.
		Typically only 10 percent of road deaths occur to people who are retired and nearing the end of their natural life span.
		WHO has forecast that, by the year 2020, road crashes will be the second most common cause of premature death in the world (out of a list of about 120 different causes).

	Level crossing Summary
		Where third rail systems have level crossings, there is a gap in the third rail over the level crossing, but the power supply is not interrupted since trains have current collectors in the front and rear cars; however, care must be taken that a current or voltage gap is not created between the two ends.
		In November 2004 there were two major accidents on UK level crossings: one involved a car driver suspected of committing suicide, who caused the death of seven people (Ufton Nervet rail crash); another involving a train carrying 50 school children resulted in no fatalities but a number of injuries.
		To ensure that the barriers are noticed and to draw attention, public road crossings are fitted with a ringing warning bell or siren and with lights.

		And while you might consider our roads to be rough and ready in comparison to the snooker-table-smooth autoroutes, autobahns and autostradas of the Continent, you might again be surprised to learn that when it comes to road safety, many of our fellow Europeans consider us to be streets ahead.
		The reason for potential holiday horror on the roads is down to a potent combination of factors, which includes road conditions, countries' differing attitudes to developing safer roads, driver training and the indigenous motorists' approach to driving.
		Roads in northern Europe might be safer, but where Britons pay a premium on petrol, in Switzerland, France and Austria you pay tolls for using the roads.

		Only half of the lists are directly related to actual medical words; the other half are words that deal with situations that patients get into which leads them to seek medical attention, situations our dictators so casually allude to when dictating the history taking.

		The list covers ways of identifying and assessing problems associated with regulation, ways of defining strategies for tackling these problems in accordance with established good practice, and ways of tackling important issues affecting the development of trucking and passenger public transport services.
		Many indicators of national road transport performance can be defined to assess costs, efficiency and level of service of road transport, but in practice adequate data are rarely available for use in meaningful analysis.
		The accuracy of national road transport statistics is generally poor and so assessing performance requires surveys to be carried out.

	THE ROLE OF TRAFFIC LAW ENFORCEMENT IN THE SLOVENE ROAD SAFETY SYSTEM (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		The following short and general scale of effective accident reducing measures reflect the level of their political importance: road related measures (construction of highways) are at the top of the scale, followed by measures related to police traffic control, with information and education being at the bottom of the scale.
		Appropriate road safety policy is one of the essential elements of a well-balanced overall transport and public health policy (Michael Ray, 1995).
		The estimating efficiency of an individual police officer is based on the weight of the detected offence according to the scale of traffic accident causes and not to the numbers of detected offences, as in the cases of speed, using safety belts and drunk driving measures.
