Jean Todt, FIA President and Special Envoy of the UN Secretary General for Road Safety said: “Thank you all for supporting the UN Road Safety Week and the Save Kids Lives campaign. Every single day more than 500 children are killed. Children are the most vulnerable in our society. Their protection must be our number one priority. In our Child Declaration for Road Safety, we call for new commitments to keep children safe around the world.

“Every child should have the right to a safe journey whether travelling to school, home or anywhere else. Today we urge governments to take new action and keep children safe.”
