What Is World's Biggest Teenage Killer?
http://uk.news.yahoo.com/skynews/20070420/tuk-what-is-world-s-biggest-teenage-kill-45dbed5.html
Road accidents outstrip Aids, cancer or any other disease as the
biggest cause of teenage death around the world.
Nothing else takes more lives of young people aged 15 to 19, according
to an editorial in The Lancet medical journal.
Road traffic accidents, or RTAs, were also the second most-likely
cause of death for 10 to 14-year-olds, and 20 to 24-year-olds.
They were the third most common reason for children aged five to nine
to die.
And the problem was worst in poorer countries, said The Lancet.
The latest available complete figures showed that in 2002, an
estimated 380,000 young people died in road accidents. Of these, more
than half lived in Africa and south east Asia.
Typical road horrors around the world in the first weeks of April
included a truck and bus collision in Sri Lanka which killed 23
people, and the deaths of 98 victims during the first two days of the
Thai new year holiday.
The grim statistics are from Youth and Road Safety, a World Health
Organisation report due to be released on April 23.
The launch of the report coincides with the start of the first UN
Global Road Safety Week, during which an estimated 7,000 people under
the age of 25 will die on the road.
Each year, a total of 1.2 million people of all ages are killed in
road accidents.
The editorial says: "Death and injury on the road is a pandemic,
especially in young people. The individual solution lies with what is
perhaps one of the hardest things to change - human behaviour.
"Road accidents disproportionately affect young people. Being taught
about road safety from a very young age must become a priority, with
adults setting a good example at all times."

And, I fear, most of these potentially deadly drivers are on the road, at the
same time that I am! Thanks for making my day.
