Royal Commission On Health Services Brief Presented By The Canadian Highway Safety Council Ottawa PDF Download

"The Canadian Highway Safety Council in presenting this brief to the Royal Commission on Health Services does so in the belief that the highway accident problem reflects human behaviour to a sufficient degree that its treatment is an epidemiological matter. The problem is not one whose solution can come through automotive engineering, traffic regulation or road building although part of the solution lies in those fields. The purpose of this brief ... is to work toward bringing about the acceptance of the idea that lives lost, injuries sustained and damage inflicted on our roads and streets constitute a problem for society to face and solve. It has reduced the ravages of many diseases by the application of brains, resources, money and interest. It can prevent accidents if the apathy that enshrouds the matter can be dissipated and it can be shown in true perspective."--Leaf [1].
