Introduction - Rosario Alessi, ChairmanThis year, my last as Chairman, has been one of considerableachievement for the FIA Foundation. Theadvocacy targets we set for the Make Roads Safecampaign have been ambitious, but the FIA Foundation,together with our many partners, has succeededin securing a UN Ministerial Conference on globalroad safety and in pushing the issue of road trafficinjury higher up the international political agenda thanever before.In 2001 the establishment of the FIA Foundation fortuitouslycoincided with an initiative by the World HealthOrganization to make road safety a recognised globalpublic health issue. In the following years the FIAFoundation worked closely with WHO, funding theirroad injury prevention work and the 2004 World Reporton road traffic injury prevention. The Foundationproposed and co-financed the first UN Global RoadSafety Week. We supported the UN Regional Commissionsand the newly mandated UN Road SafetyCollaboration. We have worked with the World Bankand a few (too few) donor governments to establishthe Global Road Safety Facility. We set up the Commissionfor Global Road Safety and launched theMake Roads Safe campaign. I am immensely proudof this track record in working collaboratively to improveglobal road safety.While the Foundation’s road safety work is now wellestablished, our environmental programme has alsodeveloped this year, with a new Global Fuel EconomyInitiative building on our work with the UNEP Partnershipfor Clean Fuels and Vehicles and our supportfor independent emissions testing of new cars. I hopethat over the coming years the FIA Foundation canhelp to catalyse policy changes in the environmentalfield as we are doing in road safety.None of the Foundation’s activities can progresswithout the support of our colleagues and partnersaround the world and I would like to thank all thosewho have worked with the FIA Foundation to deliverour charitable objectives.As I retire as the FIA Foundation’s inaugural ChairmanI look back with great satisfaction at what hasbeen achieved since the charity’s establishment eightyears ago; our growing reputation for independentand groundbreaking advocacy; our support for wideranging research and life-saving interventions; ourvaluable partnerships across the world.I have no doubt that, with your help, the Foundationwill continue to develop and to succeed in the yearsahead.Rosario AlessiChairmanFIA FoundationFIA Foundation Review 2008 | 1

Lord Robertson presents the Make Roads Safe petitionto UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon

Overview - David Ward, Director GeneralIn a historic debate in March 2008 the UN GeneralAssembly in New York approved the first ever UNMinisterial Conference on global road safety. This decisionwas the result of sustained work by many peopleand organisations, but it was especially pleasingfor the FIA Foundation because the original proposalfor a UN Conference was made by the Commissionfor Global Road Safety and advocated in many countriesthrough the Make Roads Safe campaign, bothinitiatives that the FIA Foundation established andleads. I was delighted to be part of a delegation whichpresented our million name petition to UN SecretaryGeneral Ban Ki-moon on the day of the UN debate.The UN Conference will be hosted by the RussianFederation in Moscow in November 2009. Over thecoming year we will redouble our efforts to secureattention and serious commitments for global roadsafety from the international community. The MoscowConference can and should be a milestone in the responseto road traffic injuries, marking the start of adecade of determined action to defeat this avoidableepidemic.Such action must include continuous safety improvementsby road authorities and designers and by vehiclemanufacturers. In July 2008 the FIA Foundationco-hosted with the World Bank and the EuropeanBank for Reconstruction & Development a major conferenceto examine how billions of taxpayer aid dollarscould be more safely invested in road infrastructureschemes in the developing world to prevent ‘killerroads’. And through the ‘Choose ESC’ campaign, theFIA Foundation has continued to put pressure on vehiclemanufacturers and regulators to accelerate theintroduction of life-saving vehicle technologies.The major donor governments, public health foundationsand relevant international institutions also needto wake up to the scale of the road injury epidemic.The FIA Foundation wants to see greater investmentin road safety, for example through the World Bank’sGlobal Road Safety Facility, to match sympatheticrhetoric with real resources.Although our main focus in recent years has been,and continues to be, global road safety I am pleasedthat over the past year the FIA Foundation has begunto play a constructive role in efforts to tackle anotherof the world’s great challenges, climate change.Working together with the International Energy Agency,the UN Environment Programme and the InternationalTransport Forum, we have launched a policy initiativeto encourage ambitious improvements in fueleconomy globally, with a particular focus on sustainablevehicle use in the industrialising world, where vehiclenumbers are predicted to double in the comingdecades. This Global Fuel Economy Initiative will bea major priority for the FIA Foundation over the comingyears. We have also begun a major programmewhich we hope will grow still further.Finally, and on behalf of our staff and Board of Trustees,I would like to record my immense gratitudeto our outgoing Chairman, Rosario Alessi, who hasguided the FIA Foundation through its first eight yearswith a winning combination of wisdom and good humour.David WardDirector GeneralFIA FoundationFIA Foundation Review 2007 | 3

Three Nobel Peace Prize Laureates signed an Open Letter to the UnitedNations in March 2008 on behalf of the Make Roads Safe campaign.President Oscar Arias, President Jimmy Carter and Archbishop DesmondTutu were joined by other leading public figures including Sonia Gandhi andMary Robinson. A copy of the letter was handed to UN Secretary GeneralBan Ki-moon by Lord Robertson.President Jimmy CarterEvery six seconds someone is killed or seriously injured on the world’s roads.More than 3000 people are dying every day. Ten million people are estimated to havealready lost their lives on the roads in this first decade of the 21st Century.Sonia GandhiNinety per cent of these casualties occur in middle and low income countries, wheremeasures to improve road safety are failing to keep pace with rapid motorisation. Thosemost affected by road crashes are the most vulnerable: the poor; the young, particularlychildren; pedestrians and novice drivers. Road crashes are already the leading cause ofdeath worldwide for young people over the age of ten.Poor road safety has a serious impact on many other areas of development. Road crashesimpose a high economic cost and a serious burden on health resources. Communitiescan be devastated by the loss of a teacher, a leader, or a child.Mary RobinsonThe developing countries most affected desperately need home grown expertise andchampions for road safety, and the domestic political commitment to fund and support roadsafety measures. There is much that the international community could do to foster thiseffort, by raising the profile of road traffic injuries, sharing knowledge of injury preventionand including road safety in their programmes to promote global development.To catalyse this effort, and to raise political support for action on road deaths, the MakeRoads Safe campaign is calling for a first ever United Nations Ministerial Conference onGlobal Road Safety.Every six seconds there is another reason why we must act. The time for action is now.Archbishop Desmond TutuMake Roads Safe Campaign 60 Trafalgar Square London WC2N 5DS United Kingdom +44 (0)207 930 3882 +44 (0)207 930 3883 (f)info@makeroadssafe.orgwww.makeroadssafe.orgPresident Oscar Arias

At the UN General Assembly, Lord Robertson holds upa picture of a car accident he was involved in

UN wakes up to MakeRoads SafeFor one day at the end of March, the UN’s headquartersin New York is taken over by the MakeRoads Safe campaign.High level delegates from countries all over the world stand up to addressthe UN General Assembly on road deaths as a growing globalpublic health crisis which is claiming the lives of millions.It was a high point for the Make Roads Safe campaign, which hasbeen gathering momentum in the months leading to the UN debate.After Ministers, Ambassadors and representatives from around theworld have made their presentations in New York, the UN Resolutionon Improving Global Road Safety is passed.Member countries line up to support the Resolution and its call for aMinisterial Conference to tackle road deaths. The conference, to behosted by the Russian Federation, will now take place in November2009.Lord Robertson, Chairman of the Commission for Global RoadSafety, and at the forefront of the Make Roads Safe campaign, addressesthe General Assembly with passion. Speaking at the UNheadquarters in New York, he says: “Today’s debate can mark themoment when the world community looks out at the suffering, thegrief, and the cost of road injuries and decides to begin to end it.This is in our power to do. Collectively we have the tools, we havethe knowledge, and we have the means. We must act.”As he addresses the UN, Lord Robertson holds up a photo of a carcrash he had been involved in as a young man – a sign of how closethe issue is to him personally. He later hands in the Make RoadsSafe petition, signed by 1 million people around the world, to UNSecretary General Ban Ki-moon.The day starts with an Open Letter issued to the UN signed by NobelPrize winners Archbishop Desmond Tutu, President Oscar Arias ofCosta Rica and former US President Jimmy Carter. They are joinedby a range of high profile global figures including former Irish PresidentMary Robinson, Indian National Congress President SoniaGandhi and former UN Human Development Report author KevinWatkins in supporting the Make Roads Safe calls for UN action.The Open Letter emphasises that the UN has a “rare opportunity toaddress one of the most serious and yet overlooked issues of ourtime”. It also highlights figures showing that 10 million people havealready lost their lives on the roads in the first decade of the 21stcentury. It appears in newspapers around the world alongside articlesand op ed pieces in support of the campaign.FIA Foundation Review 2008 | 7

Former US President Jimmy Carter says: “As our world becomesincreasingly mobile, it is imperative that we give more attention tothe safety of our roads and methods of transportation. The MakeRoads Safe campaign is an essential step towards saving the 3000lives that are lost daily in road accidents.”He is joined by Indian National Congress President Sonia Gandhiwho has given her support to the campaign in the run up to the UNdebate. She says: “The UN must act on road safety, urgently. Everythree minutes a child dies on the world’s roads and these lives canbe saved. We need a global action plan to ensure that key safetymeasures are put in place. If the international community does nottackle the growing road safety crisis many more lives will be tragicallylost.”From Iceland to Jamaica, UN Ambassadors and Ministers representingcountries the world over highlight the scale of the problem.Jamaican Transport Minister Mike Henry says that road deaths arean “economic drain” on his country and calls for international supportto address the problem. Costa Rican Transport Minister KarlaGonzalez says that her country is seeking good international adviceand acting to tackle key risk factors, notably poorly designed roadways,drunk driving and excessive speeding. The Resolution on ImprovingGlobal Road Safety is unanimously adopted with the MakeRoads Safe campaign’s key recommendation: that the UN shouldconvene a Ministerial Conference on road safety.Victor Kiryanov, Head of the Russian Federation’s Department ofRoad Safety, says that road crashes place a huge social and economicburden on countries. He warns that it is vital to reduce roadtraffic casualties in order to meet international development programmesincluding the Millennium Development Goals. His governmentwill host the Ministerial Conference.The Resolution encourages the 192 UN member states to continueto strengthen their commitment to road safety and to participate inUN projects to curb road deaths particularly in developing countries.It also underlines the need for all countries to pay attention to five ofthe main risk factors — not using seatbelts and child restraints, notusing helmets, drinking and driving, excessive speed, and lack ofappropriate infrastructure.Following the General Assembly debate, Lord Robertson is joinedby actress and Make Roads Safe global Ambassador Michelle Yeohand representatives from the campaign in a meeting with UN SecretaryGeneral Ban Ki-moon. A successful day but much work stillto do.However, the UN Resolution and approval for a Ministerial Conferenceis only a first step. The Make Roads Safe campaign will keepup the pressure to ensure that promises are kept and action is taken.FIA Foundation Review 2008 | 9

Take my handIt’s barely 7am and the road bisecting the BroadlandsPark district in Cape Town is cloaked in darkness.Children, little older than nine, are lining up on the wet asphalt.Trucks, coaches and cars speed past their faces as they wait patientlyfor a gap in the traffic. Holding hands they run across, headlightsbearing down on them.Make Roads Safe global campaign ambassador Michelle Yeoh iswith the children of Broadlands Park as they start their perilous journey.“These kids are crossing this heavy junction with nothing to helpthem. And they do this every morning,” she says. “Somewherearound the world at this moment there is a child hurt or killed – justbecause they are going to school. For God’s sake, we have to stopthis.”South Africa is confronting a road safety crisis. According to the lateststatistics 14,000 people were killed on the roads in 2007 andthere were more than 150,000 serious injuries. In a country withmore than its fair share of violence, road crashes are the leadingcause of injury.Bottom-right: On assignment in VietnamMichelle Yeoh is visiting to highlight the problem while filming adocumentary for the Make Roads Safe campaign. Children are hitparticularly hard, as are pedestrians who account for almost half ofall the road deaths in South Africa. A child in South Africa is 26 timesmore likely to die on the roads than a child in the European Union.In the townships, community workers tell Michelle that theirs is aneglected crisis. “Politicians need to come more into these poorercommunities and see these are the main places where accidentshappen,” says Sharon Simons who runs a local safety scheme forchildren.It is Michelle’s mission to draw attention to the road deaths epidemic,a task achieved with considerable success in Vietnam. On assignmentin Hanoi, the movie star urges the government, parents andschools to ensure that children wear crash helmets when riding aspassengers on motorcycles. The problem is that while new legislationhas required everyone to wear helmets, it has proved difficult toenforce for children under 14 years old.Speaking to a packed press conference organised by the Asia InjuryPrevention Foundation, the Vietnam Helmet Wearing Coalition andthe Make Roads Safe campaign, Michelle says action is neededurgently.“Twelve children are dying unnecessarily every week in Vietnambecause they are not wearing a helmet. Where is the logic in requiringadults to wear crash helmets for their own safety but notthe children? Adults must protect their children the way they protectthemselves. Parents must act right now to put Government certifiedhelmets on their children.”FIA Foundation Review 2008 | 15

Top: (L-R) Nobuo Tanaka, Sylvie Lemmet andJack Short at the FIA Foundation Fuel EconomySeminar

Fuelling the debateRapid growth of the global vehicle fleet, CO2 emissionsat unsustainable levels and fears over energysecurity and supply are the critical policy issuesconcerning the FIA Foundation’s fuel economyprogramme.These are global issues, and they raise questions which have yet tobe adequately answered. At a high level symposium hosted by theFIA Foundation together with three major international organisations,a new roadmap to reduce CO2 emissions and promote fuel economyin the automotive sector emerges. Leading the discussions arethree major global organisations, partners with the FIA Foundation:the International Energy Agency (IEA), the International TransportForum (ITF) and the UN Environment Programme (UNEP).IEA Executive Director Nobuo Tanaka pledges to take a range ofrecommendations forward.“CO2 emissions are unsustainable and the question is how can wecut out CO2? The aim must be to cut vehicle energy intensity by50% by 2050 – a challenging but achievable solution with the rightinternational framework in place.”ITF Secretary General Jack Short echoes these warnings. “We haveargued for a long time that a principle of cost effectiveness shouldbe applied to any solutions, and that a global fuel economy frameworkwould need much careful planning and scrutiny.”Sylvie Lemmet Director of the UNEP Division of Technology, Industryand Economics says that any fuel economy policies need to takedeveloping countries into consideration.A series of next steps to achieve a global 50% reduction in automotivefuel economy are proposed. Key measures would include:exchange of best practice to promote automotive fuel economy; Integratingthe issue of fuel economy into the existing effort to reducevehicle emissions and improve air quality; and exploring the potentialof an automotive sectoral contribution to the international community’spost-2012 Kyoto climate change strategy.Following on from the symposium, the partnership will engage in asubstantial programme of work, with other key experts across theglobe. Having sponsored a workshop at the Bangkok Air Qualityconference in November 2009, it will launch an initiative to achievea 50% reduction in the carbon emissions of Light Duty Vehicles by2050 via action to promote greater global fuel economy. This 50:50initiative will be launched at the Conference of the Parties (COP14) in Poland. 2009 will then see a major programme of events andresearch to develop the initiative further.FIA Foundation Review 2008 | 17

New cars: clean andgreen?The message is clear: must do better. Car manufacturershave made some progress in cuttingCO2 emissions and reducing pollutants but furtheradvances are needed. Now in its fifth yearEcoTest, the FIA Foundation’s comprehensive environmentalassessment programme for vehicles,reveals mixed progress across a range of popularmodels.Throughout 2008, regular EcoTest reports give a detailed pictureshowing the true environmental performance of a range of popularcar models. The results reveal that the motor industry has further togo in order to achieve the lowest levels of CO2 emissions, pollutantsand optimum fuel economy. The best manufacturers are producingfour star EcoTest cars but the search is now on for the first ever fivestar vehicle.Some manufacturers are making progress. Over the summer, testingshows that the Mazda 6 2.0 Estate Sport Diesel is among theten best EcoTest performers achieving 81 points and four stars fromits relatively low levels of CO2 and pollutant emissions. This puts iteight places behind high achiever, the Toyota Prius which achieved89 EcoTest points when last assessed.The Mazda is joined by the Volvo V50 1.6D, the Mercedes SL 350and the Citroen C5 Tourer HDi in achieving the four star rating.However, lower down the scale, some manufacturers are still producinglow scoring cars for certain criteria. BMW, with the M3 Cabrioletscores zero points for CO2 emissions performance. The scorerepresents an emission level of over 294.6 g CO2/km.The overall trend is that the car industry is finding it difficult to performwell on both CO2 and pollutants. While the BMW M3 faresbadly on CO2 emissions, it does much better in its efforts to reducelevels of harmful exhaust emissions such as nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbonsand carbon monoxide.Sometimes it’s the other way round. Models have shown improvementson CO2 but at the same time have declined in terms of exhaustgases. Also, latest models can have design upgrades, newsafety features and changes to the engine which can mean higherlevels of either CO2 emissions or pollutants.Despite all the progress the search is still on for the first five star vehicle.Toyota has made strides with the four star Prius but no manufacturerhas yet performed consistently well enough over both CO2emissions and pollutants to reach five stars.FIA Foundation Review 2008 | 21

Bottom-left: Professor Sid Watkins speaks at the summit

Striving for excellence insafetyMotor racing’s safety experts are never complacentabout injury prevention on the track.With FIA Foundation support, the FIA Institute for Motor Sport Safetydraws on top class scientific expertise to ensure that standards arekept as high as possible.It is the eve of the Bahrain Grand Prix and more than 150 top medicalprofessionals along with leading figures in motor sport are at theFIA Institute Centre of Excellence Summit to share knowledge onkey issues such as spine injury, brain trauma assessment, and trainingfor motor sport medics.Key figures from motor racing give their support to the Summit. FormulaOne driver Mark Webber, representing the Grand Prix Drivers’Association at the event, stresses the importance of continuedprogress being made. He says: “With the FIA Institute working hardwith a Summit meeting like this and just flagging up lots of differentsubjects which can be thrown into a brain-storming session, itserves to increase our knowledge and expertise for the safety of oursport.”Professor Gérard Saillant, Deputy President of the FIA Institute andone of the leading orthopaedic surgeons in the world, gives a presentationon Whiplash and Severe Spraining of the Cervical Spine.He is joined by Dr. Steve Olvey, Associate Professor in the Departmentof Neurological Surgery at the University of Miami and medicalconsultant to the Indianapolis 500 race. Dr. Olvey presents on theuse of Immediate Post-Concussion Assessment and Cognitive Testing(ImPACT) in professional motor sport. Also among the speakersis Dr Michael Henderson, Chairman of the Australian Institute of MotorSport Safety, speaking on Trauma Reduction in Motor Sport.It’s not just at the top levels of motor sport where the Institute haspushed safety standards. In just two years, the FIA Institute and itspartner Snell Memorial Foundation, have created a new Youth HelmetStandard, designed specially for seven to 11-year olds and 12to 16-year olds.Professor Sid Watkins, FIA Institute President, says: “The Youth Helmetproject demonstrates the FIA Institute’s commitment to rapidprogress. Not only has it broken new ground but it has done so inrecord time. This is testament to the important research work carriedout by the FIA Institute.”Few people have understood that a young driver’s helmet shouldnot just be a smaller version of an adult’s but this is the key innovationdeveloped by the FIA Institute and its partners. The project isthe first of its kind to develop safety equipment specifically for youngdrivers.FIA Foundation Review 2008 | 23

Activities and projects roundupSimple measures, high rewardsSimple, low cost safety improvements suchas road markings and crossing points cansave tens of thousands of lives with economicreturns on investment of more than ten to one.The latest research from the InternationalRoad Assessment Programme (iRAP) detailsthe projected benefits of introducing basic roadsafety features in a range of countries.iRAP, supported by the FIA Foundation carriedout over 10,000 kms of inspections in CostaRica, Chile, Malaysia and South Africa. Itsnew report ‘Vaccines for Roads’ puts acrossthe cost benefit case for key safety measures.In Malaysia, for example, an investment ofUS $180m is projected to deliver US $3bn inbenefits and prevent over 30,000 deaths andserious injuries over 20 years.John Dawson, Chairman of iRAP says: “Wenow have a whole new technique for treatingroad networks in developing countries. Throughroad inspections we can identify the locationswhere large numbers of people are exposed tohigh-risk of death and serious injury. We canthen prescribe treatments to improve the safetyof the roads. Road crashes kill as many peoplein developing countries as malaria and TB. Thepotential from these new ‘vaccines for roads’ isenormous.”The iRAP results were issued at the MakingRoads Safe conference organised by theFIA Foundation and hosted by the EuropeanBank for Reconstruction and Development(EBRD). In an unprecedented move, the WorldBank, regional development banks, the EUand leading donor countries including the UK,US and Australia met with representativesof governments from Africa, Asia and SouthAmerica in London to discuss ways of ensuringthat all internationally funded road projects indeveloping countries adhere to tough criteriafor safety assessment and design.The conference agreed to establish a workinggroup to harmonise the road safety approachof the development banks.24 | FIA Foundation Review 2008

Turning the cornerJust one year on from the launch of the ChooseESC!campaign and the call for widespreadinstallation of life saving anti-skid technologyElectronic Stability Control (ESC) is now beingheeded.Hailed as the greatest car safety innovationsince the seatbelt, ESC has the potential tosave over 4,000 lives and 100,000 injurieseach year in Europe alone.After months of concerted campaigning byChooseESC! chaired by the FIA Foundation,Europe is making progress on the technology.The EU’s proposed regulation on motor vehiclesafety is set to make ESC mandatory for allnew cars from 2012. The wider picture is encouraging.Canada and Australia plan to makeESC mandatory for all new cars from the sameyear.The UN body responsible for vehicle standardshas adopted a new regulation on ESC for cars.The regulation is an essential prerequisite forESC to be used globally.A global technical regulation would specify requirementsfor systems to help drivers keepcontrol of their vehicle and outline the risk ofdeath and serious injury resulting from loss ofcontrol.Director General of the FIA Foundation andChooseESC! Campaign Chairman David Wardsays: “The US had been leading the way butwe can now begin working towards mandatoryinstallation globally of this crucial life savingtechnology.”The UN World Forum for Harmonization of VehicleRegulations which put the Global TechnicalRegulation (GTR) together negotiatesagreements on motor vehicle technical regulationssuch as crash test standards and designrequirements for key safety devices includingseat belts. The FIA Foundation has been a keyplayer in helping draw up the GTR.FIA Foundation Review 2008 | 25

Keeping tourists safeExperts gathered at the FIA Foundation’sInternational Tourism and Road Safety Seminarto hear evidence that road crashes are now thehighest risk for people travelling abroad.The Foundation is carrying out research on theissue, looking at both the scale of the problemand a range of policy proposals. According toinitial estimates from the research, worldwide,tourist road fatalities will be on the increaseover the next two decades.The World Tourism Organization (UNWTO)acknowledged that the issue has becomea major global problem. The UNWTO andFIA Foundation have both recognised thattourism raises some key concerns and uniqueissues for road safety. Issues include a lackof authoritative road safety information andneglect of the problem in the transport sector.The FIA Foundation Tourism and Road Safetyprogramme will issue a major report in 2009.Crossings concernPedestrian crossings are an overlooked areaof road safety, and an FIA backed study showsthat more action is needed to reduce deathsand injuries in this area.The EuroTest survey of 10 European countriesreveals concerns across the continent. Norwayhas the worst record in terms of the safety of itspedestrian crossings with 3.7 deaths per million.It is followed by Italy (3.4) and Switzerland(3.0).Overall, Spain has the highest rate of pedestrianfatalities with 15.7 deaths per million. Italyand the UK are next (11.5 deaths/million) followedby Austria (10.9) and Belgium (10.3).The study indicates that the safest roads forpedestrians are to be found in the Netherlands.Here, there are only 0.6 fatalities per millionon pedestrian crossings and 4.0 per million onother parts of the road.26 | FIA Foundation Review 2008

Green and mobileSustainable, accessible and safe forms oftransport are at the core of a new global alliancesupported by the UN Environment Programme,local governments and the FIA Foundation.Founder members met at the UN ClimateChange Conference to look at how urbantransportation can lessen its environmentalimpact. The objectives of the Global Alliancefor EcoMobility fit with the Foundation’s broaderagenda, particularly the recommendation for a10% safety allocation for road infrastructureprojects.The Foundation has also continued its supportin 2008 for the UNEP’s Partnership for CleanerFuels and Vehicles. It has made importantstrides forward – for example with the CleanerFleet Management Toolkit taking fleet managersthrough a step-by-step system accessibleto both the experienced and beginners.PCFV seminars have brought together keystakeholders to exchange experience onsecuring a cleaner fuels base. By providing thisplatform, PCFV helps hundreds of thousandsof people to live longer and healthier lives.Promoting helmet wearing in SEAsiaThe FIA Foundation is promoting motorcyclehelmet use in SE Asia, in partnership with theAsia Injury Prevention Foundation.The main focus is on Vietnam, where anexplosion in motorcycle use has resultedin over 12,000 deaths a year. The VietnamHelmet Wearing Coalition, coordinated bythe AIP Foundation, has worked with theVietnamese Government to raise awarenessof the need to wear helmets and to introducea helmet wearing law. As well as backing theCoalition, the FIA Foundation has encouragedinternational support for the child helmetcampaign. Make Roads Safe ambassadorMichelle Yeoh visited Vietnam to bring mediaattention to the issue, and on the Foundation’srequest Archbishop Desmond Tutu has writtento the Vietnamese Prime Minister urging action.Michael Schumacher is the latest celebrity togive his support.FIA Foundation Review 2008 | 27
