Road safety target in sight: making up for lost time

Abstract

This 4th PIN Report provides an overview of European countries' performance in five areas of road safety. It builds on the three previous Road Safety PIN Reports published in June 2007, 2008 and 2009. It shows how countries have progressed in reducing road deaths and serious injuries since 2001. It also shows how countries perform in tackling the three main killers on the roads: speeding, drink driving and failure to wear a seat belt. These rankings have been carried out during the fourth year of the Road Safety Performance Index (PIN) between September 2009 and June 2010. They cover 30 countries, all 27 Member States of the European Union, together with Israel, Norway and Switzerland.
