(Communicated by the Prime Minister's Media Adviser)

On the occasion of National Road Safety Day, the Cabinet, today (Sunday, 4
November 2012), was briefed by senior National Road Safety Authority and
Israel Police officials on the actions being taken to decrease road
accidents and increase safety.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said, "Even though Israel is currently
ranked among the ten safest countries in the world in terms of deaths per
kilometer traveled, this does not make things easier for the families and
the tragedy of lives cut short in road accidents. It is very important to
reduce the number of injuries. The effort is great and the commitment is
continuing. We must continue to further reduce this tragedy and become one
of the countries in which the number of those injured in road accidents is
among the lowest."
