THE GRIDLOCKSMITH: World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims

Just as "Road-Peace" is nearing launch, the

World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims

arrives, this Sunday, November 20, 2011.

"...observed every third Sunday in November each year. This will be a major advocacy day for road traffic injury prevention and WHO and the United Nations Road Safety Collaboration encourage governments and NGOs around the world to commemorate this day."

(Check out the facebook page, here.)

(There is a handbook, available, here.)

"The Decade of Action for Road Safety 2011-2020, which began in May this year, has the goal of saving five million lives. A global plan for the decade provides a framework for governments, civil society and the private sector to work together to improve road management; upgrade the safety of roads and vehicles, and educate drivers,
passengers and pedestrians on safe behaviour."

I will not feel that my brother died in vain,

if we become more aware of the need

for patience, forgiveness, understanding and kindness

for one another on the road.

The qualities needed to make "Road-Peace" possible,
are the same that will make World Peace possible.

Please, visit www.road-peace.com

and help spread the important message that

"Road-Peace is a step on the road to World Peace."

The folks wise and gentle enough to create World Peace,

will not treat each other as we do, on the road, today.

If we hope to become those people,

we need to start making changes... now.
