2021-10-22T11:24:07.124Z


In the upcoming round of games, Premier League teams will take part in the national fight against road accidents, with an emphasis on reducing the speed of travel within the city. • Chairman of the Football Leagues Administration, Erez Kalfon:


As part of the activities of the National Road Safety Authority and the League and League Teams Administration, the upcoming game cycle will be dedicated to marking Road Safety Week and raising awareness that reducing travel speed significantly reduces the chance of being involved in a fatal accident.

This coming Saturday, October 23, 2021, a special collaboration will be opened between the Football Leagues Administration, which is responsible for the Premier League, and the RALBD.

In Israel, high speed is involved in causing 30% of all fatal road accidents.

The higher the speed, the impaired the driver's ability to notice what is happening and respond at an effective stopping time to prevent the accident.

In addition, speed affects the severity of the injury.

For example, an increase of 5 km / h at an average speed of 35 km / h is expected to result in an increase of about 70% in the number of fatal accidents and an increase of about 50% in serious accidents.

At the start of each game in the next round, the team players will go on the field wearing T-shirts bearing the message "10 km / h less, twice as likely to live", and will also hold a sign with the above message.

In addition, the captains of both teams will read a short text with reference to the speed of travel, and the responsibility of football players as leaders of change.

During the ceremony, a banner carrying the main message will be displayed on the franchise screens where the games are broadcast, and in some stadiums our message will be integrated into the digital advertising screens spread along the field.

Chairman of the Football Leagues Administration, Erez Kalfon: "Publicity activities on the subject of road safety save lives. Premier League players have a significant role in this information system and we are all proud to cooperate with the National Road Safety Authority. Our football, as a leader in social change, is happy to take part in Activity related to these issues: League players, who are role models for tens of thousands of young people, play a key role in this social change.

Nehama Laor-Drori, VP of Information, Education and Training at RALBAD: "Next week we will mark Road Safety Week all over the country to remind us all, as a society, of the dangers of irresponsible driving. Many studies have already shown that high-speed driving is one of the significant causes of accidents. Severe and fatal.

We are full of appreciation for the incredible mobilization of the league director and team players to fight road accidents among young people.

There is no doubt that their appeal to young people at eye level has the potential to save lives.

Together with the players, the principal and the fans, the message to young drivers will be stronger and sharper - "reducing the speed of travel by 10 km / h in the city doubles the chance of living in the event of an accident."
