Global Edition: Safety Isn’t a Luxury – It’s Long Overdue
Every day, 3,287 people die in traffic crashes – more than from malaria, war, or natural disasters. These figures come from the Association for Safe International Road Travel . The annual toll: 1.3 million deaths and an additional 20-50 million injuries. And the vast majority are preventable: over 90% of crashes are caused by human error .
The Cost of Global Inaction
- The worldwide cost of traffic crashes is an astonishing $518 billion per year. For many nations, that equals up to 3% of GDP lost annually .
- Meanwhile, the OECD reports that 40% of global emergency room beds are filled with crash victims [3]. Ignoring modern safety tech is not neutrality – it’s negligence.
