Kevin York urges G8 leaders to consider FIA's "Make Roads Safe" initiative.

13 July 2006 | Madison, Wisconsin

Ahead of the G8 Summit this weekend, Kevin York of YORK Motorsport joins seven times F1 World Champion, Michael Schumacher, in asking the G8 leaders to pay special note to the Commission for Global Road Safety's recent report.

“We hope that G8 leaders will take up the recommendations of the Report and ask that they consider discussing the issue at their summit this year in Russia or again next year in Germany. We need to make people aware of the real human cost of road traffic injuries. Five hundred children are dying every day and thousands more are being disabled or injured. This is why I support the campaign to Make Roads Safe;” Schumacher was quoted as saying at the recent British Grand Prix.
