It is a very important way of reducing both crash and casualty rates and rates of fuel consumption, emissions of CO2 and other gases and  noise.  It also helps to reduce traffic.  </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>3. Making vehicles safer is important, provided it is interpreted widely enough -  more widely, I suspect, than the CGRS intends. Vehicles should be made safer for the other road users with whom they may collide, not only for their own occupants. This means in particular reducing weight and power and fitting vehicles with variable speed limiters . There is good evidence that features such as  ABS intended to improve safety can be counter-productive by encouraging riskier behaviour.   </FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>  </DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE dir=ltr style="PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #000000 2px solid; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px"> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial">----- Original Message ----- </DIV> <DIV style="BACKGROUND: #e4e4e4; FONT: 10pt arial; font-color: black"><B>From:</B> <A title=edelman@greenidea.eu href="mailto:edelman@greenidea.eu">Todd Edelman, Green Idea Factory</A> </DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>To:</B> <A title=LotsLessCars@yahoogroups.com href="mailto:LotsLessCars@yahoogroups.com">LotsLessCars@yahoogroups.com</A> ; <A title=sustran-discuss@jca.apc.org href="mailto:sustran-discuss@jca.apc.org">Sustran Resource Centre</A> </DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Sent:</B> Tuesday, May 05, 2009 5:49 PM</DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Subject:</B> Re: [LotsLessCars] Children and traffic safety</DIV> <DIV><BR></DIV> <DIV id=ygrp-mlmsg style="WIDTH: 655px; POSITION: relative"> <DIV id=ygrp-msg style="PADDING-RIGHT: 25px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; Z-INDEX: 1; FLOAT: left; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; MARGIN: 0px; WIDTH: 470px; PADDING-TOP: 0px"> <DIV id=ygrp-text><BR><BR> <P>Make roads (safe).<BR><BR>(Does anyone remember when the HIV AIDS campaigns, at least in the UK - to their credit - started saying "safer" instead of "safe"?
