Both Mosley and Robertson
spoke at the annual meeting of the Global Road Safety Partnership
in Moscow City Hall, alongside General Victor Kiryanov, Head
of Russia’s Road Traffic Safety Inspectorate and President
of the Russian Automobile Federation, and the Mayor of Moscow,
Yuri Luzhkov. Mosley asked Russian policymakers to imagine
the public reaction if a terrorist attack killed 100 people
and injured another 800 every day. "That's exactly what's
happening on the roads" in car accidents across Russia,
he explained.
Mosley and Robertson also met Russia’s Deputy Prime
Minister Alexander Zhukov to discuss global road safety,
as part of the ongoing Make Roads Safe campaign.
