"Members of the European Parliament have a strong word to say when it comes to improving road safety in the EU. ETSC hopes the new MEPs - to be elected in May next year - will show the leadership needed to sustainably curb the loss of life and limb on our roads," said Antonio Avenoso, ETSC Executive Director. ETSC has identified speeding, driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, infrastructure safety and the safety of vulnerable road users as priority areas for action during the mandate of the next European Parliament. "Action in all of those areas carries significant potential to prevent deaths and serious injuries on EU roads. ETSC strongly believes future MEPs should support new policies, as well as the extension of existing initiatives, in these areas to address the most significant risk factors on EU roads".
