Theme for World Day of Remembrance 2014 #roadsafety #roadvictims #WDOR From Global Remembrance to Global Action across the Decade Speed kills – design out speeding Let’s make 2011-2020 a Decade to remember! This theme relates to the call in Pillar 3 of the Global Plan for the Decade of Action for Safer Vehicles - for vehicles with improved vehicle safety & crash avoidance technologies and with high levels of occupant & vulnerable road user protection; for consumer information about safety performance of motor vehicles and minimum crash test standards, among others. Excessive speed is a key contributory cause of road deaths and injuries, hence technologies that design out speeding would potentially provide the safest vehicles - both to people outside and occupants. From 2011-2020 In 2011, to bring to everyone’s attention the Decade of Action for Road Safety (launched in May 2011) and call for meaningful actions to mark the World Day, the following motto was agreed with the World Health Organisation for the entire decade: From Global Remembrance to Global Action across the Decade Let’s make 2011-2020 a Decade to remember! FEVR chose a further specific topic in 2011: United to improve crash prevention, investigation and victim services Regarding future themes during the Decade - in agreement with WHO and the Global NGO Alliance, each year a theme based on actions proposed in the Global Plan for the Decade* will be chosen and ideally used worldwide, strengthening support for the World Day, for road crash victims, their families and emergency personnel, and for joint actions during the Decade of Action.
