Lack of traffic safety Traffic accidents = family tragedy = social (economical, health,
psychological, demografic) problem
![Page 9: Association of Families of Road Traffic Victims, Croatia](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815b83550346895dc985d2/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Consumer culture
It is necessary to recognise traffic safety as an important social (inter)national problem.
Consumer culture and car industry send wrong messages and values.
Traffic accidents are not happening by chance, they are caused by careless breaking of the existing traffic law.

Our “New approach to Road Safety in Croatia” Inspired by the project “Vision zero”
from Scandinavia Presented to Croatian Parliament,
President, Prime minister, relevant ministers and to the public
Influence to: state institution, local government, other NGO, prevention and education, public opinion

Aim of Association is that Goverment found a Centre for traffic safety in Croatia
Centre would: - systematically and continually coordinate
the work of all relevant institutions, experts, NGOs … for realising “Vision 0” (zero traffic deaths and serious injuries),
- sistematically help for traffic victims and their families.
-set up State register of road traffic victims

Key problems in Croatia
The sentencing is still too lenient. Justly punishing is often not
employed. Trials takes forever … - which increase the trauma of the
families of victims.
