Topic of Sunday, August 23rd 2014: Traffic safety. More than a million people are killed on the world’s roads each year. The total is expected to increase steeply as the number of motor vehicles increases rapidly in many formerly less-motorized countries, and will likely exceed 2 million by the year 2020. Traffic crashes are one of the world’s largest public health problems. The problem is all the more acute because the victims are overwhelmingly young and healthy prior to their crashes. Traffic crashes also damage property, especially vehicles. By converting all losses to monetary values, it is estimated that traffic crashes in 2000 cost $231 billion, an amount greater than the Gross Domestic Product of all but a few countries. How to solve this problem? Lets discuss at 8:00pm in Thang Long High School :)
