trial

​Dear all,

As a road traffic victim, I do a lot of volunteer work concerning raising awareness about road safety and responsible conduct ...

I want more. A European citizans' initiative seems a valuable option. My 'claim' could be:

"We demand European legislation that mandates the installation of an alcohol/drug interlock from the time of production for all motorized vehicles registered on the European road network."

I have been advised against it by people who have experience in the matter. Because it takes a huge amount of work and the outcome (political response) is mostly minimal or less ...

I think (due to my Aquired Brain Injury) that I want to avoid such a situation. Nevertheless, I think that a civil, democratic initiative, nationwide, could still be more valuable than more top - down initiatives.
I have been offered the possibility to go and speak to European audiences in the future. I will do so when asked, but a combo of both approaches could really work, in our democratic European setting.

Therefore, I want to check in my network: Who in the academic world, in the media, in politics, in culture, in the publishing business, ... would support my long-term initiative from the start?

All the best,
Stijn Geerinck
