Every year on the third Sunday of November, humanity celebrates the World International Day of Remembrance for the Victims of Road Traffic Accidents. This date was set by the United Nations on October 26, 2005.

Remembrance Day was first held back in 1993 in Great Britain, even before official international recognition. The purpose of this day is to draw society’s attention to the sad statistics of road accidents (about 3,000 people killed every day), honor the memory of all accident victims and sympathize with their families, emphasize the importance of road quality and road safety.

• Sad fact: road accidents are one of the main causes of death of the young generation.
