The campaign seeks to highlight the plight of children on the world’s roads; generate action to better ensure their safety; and promote the inclusion of safe and sustainable transport in the post-2015 development agenda.

The centrepiece of the #SaveKidsLives campaign, which was launched in November 2014, is a child declaration, developed with input from children around the world.

The campaign invites all road safety policy-makers and advocates to “sign it”, “show it”, and “deliver it” to those in charge of road safety in countries and communities during the Week.

'LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) - "March Madness" has been under way for over a week now. But with the Sweet 16 nearly here, many in Lexington now are preparing for the real madness that comes with the Cats' success in the NCAA tournament.

For many businesses, like the bars along South Limestone near campus, the fan frenzy is a good thing.

The number of deaths linked to drunk passengers who wander off the platform and onto the tracks has steadily increased over the years. But a new study of these falls shows that many of them occur in the same way—and that there might be a few simple ways to prevent some of them.

V8 Supercars drivers Rick Kelly and Tim Blanchard visited Punchbowl Primary School today and shared some road safety tips as part of a V8 Supersafe Presentation.

Kelly and Blanchard made the trip to the Launceston primary school to highlight the importance of being a safe passenger ahead of the Easter long weekend.

The group of 120 students, in grades four to six, were also given an insight into being a racing car driver, and what it takes to drive door-to-door at 300km/h.

Drunken driving deaths are down, way down: Like 28 percent down since 2005. But distracted driving deaths are up. Like 650 percent up over the same period.

Of course, some of that can be explained because virtually no one had a smartphone 10 years ago. But the numbers are still startling.

Despite having some measure of self-respect, many of us here at Accident Data Center voluntarily place ourselves into the ownership of cats. If you, like us, are currently the property of a feline, please be aware that Easter lilies are extremely toxic to cats.

As a teen, probably the worst possible situation to be in is one in which you have to tell your friend to stop doing something. Distraction from friends has been all over the news lately as a huge factor in teen crashes, but as this video demonstrates, passengers are also in a position to encourage their friends to drive safely, daunting as the prospect may be.

If you're looking for something to give you a heart attack to jump start your day, here it is: in this viral YouTube video, a mother is apparently recording her kids singing and dancing in the back seat while she is driving, when, unsurprisingly, they crash. The video claims that no one was hurt, and this appears to be confirmed by the fact that you can hear the mother (and, in true toddler-parrot fashion, daughter), exclaiming "Oh, sh*t!"
Carlton was driving on I-64 near Airport Drive at about 5:52am when she for some reason slammed into the guardrail before getting struck by a pickup truck. The driver of the pickup truck, identified as Joseph Huggins, 65, was taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries, but Carlton was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash.

I have a lot of friends who roll their eyes at the thought of going to see America’s current top movie at the box office, Furious 7. Not coincidentally, I have a lot of friends who are BORING! For some reason, these holier-than-thou types are denying the appeal of these fantastic popcorn flicks. People like to act like their tastes are too refined to enjoy the sight of Tyrese and Paul Walker jumping a car onto a yacht.
