Just looking at road accident statistics makes you realize how important this topic is. Worldwide data discloses that each year approximately one million people are killed in or by automobiles. While the majority of these deaths occur in developing countries, this still leaves about 50,000 annual deaths in North America. This does not take into account road accident injuries and estimates suggest that 23-34 million people are injured worldwide in road crashes. These statistics are astronomical and any time spent with employees, vigorously outlining the need for automobile safety must result in both personal and economic dividends.
