A Grand Welcome for the President of FIA, who drives Road Safety Globally
FIA (Federation of Internationale d'l
Automobile) is the governing body of Road
Safety and Motorsports worldwide. In Western India the
awareness on Road Safety is driven by WIAA(Western India Automobile
Association) . This makes WIAA a small leaflet of the big tree to contribute
its every little bit to reduce loss of lives caused by road accidents.
With the support of FIA, WIAA has successfully carried out 24th
Road Safety Week in Jan 2013. Further to the Road Safety Week
2013, Mr. Nitin Dossa had mentioned about the iRap Van for surveying accident
prone roads and identify the black spots to urge Ministry of surface &
transport to take adequate action & bring help at these spots to to save
more and more lives.
Road accidents need equal attention from
a pedestrian point of view and a driver point of view. But in the
past there have been more loss of life due to lack of safety on
two wheeler and that too for the pillion. Helmet is always assumed to
be worn by the person driving the two wheeler, however the safety of pillion
and child on board is ignored. WIAA has taken on itself to focus on this issue.
With the support from FIA, WIAA has sourced helmet for kids and will be distributing
it to the schools in South Mumbai in presence and kind hands of MR. Jean Todt
& H. H. Prince Michel of Kent.
The purpose of Mr. Todt's visit to India is to review and
support personally on Road safety related issues faced
by WIAA. During his stay He will be escorted by
the Executive Chairman,WIAA Mr. Nitin Dossa and President
WIAA Mr. Edil Katrak and to meet various state and transport
authorities to discuss the cause and cure for Road
accidents in Maharashtra and Gujarat.
Starting with a positive note and hoping to conclude the efforts to create widespread awareness & save more lives.
We always have a choice to a safe journey.
