Résumé : | The European Union has set itself a target of halving the number of people killed in road traffic accidents from 40,000 a year in the existing fifteen countries of the Union between 2000 and 2010 through harmonization of penalties, and the promotion of new technologies to improve road safety. There is an even greater scope for improvement in the applicant countries, where the road infrastructure is less developed and where vehicles are less likely to be fitted with the latest safety technology. Nearly one third of the death and disability caused by motor vehicle accidents is due to alcohol ; this can be substantially reduced by a more uniform and lower blood alcohol concentration limit, adequate enforcement through unrestricted powers to breath test, and automatic licence suspension when over the legal limit. A common playing field should be provided for the road users of Europe, including professional drivers, with equal parity and without disadvantage across countries. Road users expect strict road safety measures and strict reductions in drinking and driving. They expect to be subjected to the lowest level of risk that is in operation throughout Europe. The following Eurocare recommendations aim to achieve a target of halving the deaths and disability adjusted life years due to drinking and driving between 2000 and 2010, aim to provide European road users with a consistent European platform on drinking and driving and aim to make European roads alcohol free.
