@EUCommission, this is cool!

And remember that while tragic, road deaths are quite minimal. Orders of magnitude more deaths are caused by aging (around 85-90% of all deaths in Europe, and expected to rise in percentage).

Europe needs your strong action where it really matters - research into practical and affordable aging reversal therapy!

@EUCommission

@EUCommission
The hell happened in Estonia? An insane statistic.

@EUCommission apologize from Estonia... idk how it happened.

@EUCommission absolute reduction percentage graph is somewhat misleading. I see Netherlands is -3% but what are the absolute numbers? Road deaths per 1000 inhabitants?

@EUCommission put license plates on bicycles and introduce a quick and cheap license for bikes. Too many cyclists do not know how to behave on the streets and have no accountability, causing too many incidents.

Also, we need a more standard and harder driving licence for car drivers, too many drivers have no clue how to safely behave on the roads. Safe driving should be part of the standard exam, not an optional course to take later in life.

@EUCommission Safer bike lanes, max 30km/h within city limits and forcing Germany to finally apply a speedlimit of 130km/h on highways will help massively.

@EUCommission Less traffic.

@EUCommission The only way to reduce road deaths to zero is to ban all vehicles and destroy all the roads.

Some more poorly devised pearl-clutching from this group of clowns.

Policy decisions should be proportionally calibrated, rigorously weighing costs, consequences, and scale rather than pursuing absolutist goals that ignore practical trade-offs and result in disproportionate interventions.

Like #ChatControl scanning all comms of 450million EU citizens to catch a handful of criminals.

@EUCommission Would be interdsging if you also showed the actual yearly deaths so one can see if Swedens -4% on our around 15 deaths per year compares to the other countries. Also, we include walking, cycling, snow mobile, moped, bike and tractor in that statistic. Do the rest?

@EUCommission maybe the solution to reducing them further would be, hear me out, encouraging poublic transportation? Shocking, right? Please do something about it, especially in eastern europe. In romania and bulgaria the situation of public transportation outside 2-3 major cities is very dire.

@EUCommission
France could probably have done better, but the 'yellow jackets', who opposed the reduction of the speed limit on national roads, managed to reverse this decision.

@EUCommission Reduce cars. I want more and safe bikelanes and reliable, cheap and crossborder public transport.

@EUCommission

-lower speed limit even in Germany
-cheaper or free public transport
are the key elements

@EUCommission, I agree with the infrastructure and car safety improvements. We need that.

Sadly, #ireland is slashing the speed limits within cities from 50 to 30km/h, drastically killing productivity and heavily inflating prices for goods and services. The actual problem of low quality roads and, funny enough, very little education is not being addressed.

We need a common solution for Europe as a whole that actually addresses the issues and not on slogans or this week's "feelings".

@EUCommission Spain among the countries that goes up, to no one's surprise.

@EUCommission What is happening in Estonia?

@EUCommission Fewer people on roads = fewer road deaths.

But try traveling from Germany to Brussels, one of the seats of the European Commission, by train. Half the time you will miss your connection and are not allowed to continue with the Eurostar without buying an extra Eurostar ticket.

This kind of friction pushes people in cars on the roads and could be solved by policy with a European compensation structure for transporting people who missed connections between national train operators.

@EUCommission I think the best way to prevent road deaths is simple, deprioritize the car and individual transport. Less cars is less accidents, and where you still have cars you slow them down and frustrate the drivers as much as possible. One good way to do that (and reach your climate goals on top!) is just investing heavily in public transport instead of roads and cars. We won't win the "EV wars" with China anyway, if you wish to go green you will not beat their EVs. Just builld trains, we're good at that here still regardless.

@EUCommission I'm regularly traveling in Italy. Not suprised of that statistic :D: 😱 D

@EUCommission Well, you wouldn‘t need additional research if you’d finally enforce a speed limit in whole Europe including Germany.

@EUCommission Bad graphic Austria is getting worse actually
