Memorial Day for victims of road accidents: photo, script

According to statistics, every year around the world more than a million people die as a result of accidents on the roads. The UN General Assembly decided to introduce a memorable date - the Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims. Let's talk about it in more detail.

When marking

Word Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims - this is the name of a mournful holiday in the English language, which does not have a clear calendar date and is celebrated on the third November resurrection - World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims.

The social and cultural role of the memorable date

If such beloved holidays as Mother's Day, Lovers' Day and others exist to express love and care for their loved ones, holidays that carry sorrow are called not only to remember the dead, but also to draw the attention of society to a specific problem.

The Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims has a profound meaning: with the help of actions, people who are not indifferent to the situation on the roads try to attract the attention of city residents, motorists and pedestrians to the problem of injuries and deaths during road traffic. Traffic statistics show that injuries resulting from accidents take first place among the causes of death in the age group under 30 years. Most of the dead are pedestrians, bikers and cyclists. According to various sources, the number of victims receiving injuries of varying severity reaches a shocking level of 50 million. Many people remain disabled, bedridden or stroller.
