It is important to mention that deaths in Greece decreased by 53% and serious injuries by 55% over the decade 2004 - 2014. In particular, during 2014, 793 of our fellow citizens died in the roads, while in 2004 the number was 1,670. However, during the first nine months of 2015, an increase was recorded to the number of fatalities and seriously injured in road traffic by 9.7% and 3.7% compared respectively to 2014. This shows that we must intensify our efforts to raise awareness of all road users until the vision of the Institute becomes reality:  living in a world without traffic accidents!
