Our new vision also targets dangerous drivers. Approximately one in every four fatalities occurs as a result of an intersection-related collision. Excessive speed and running red lights are often factors in these collisions. We will work toward a 20 per cent reduction in the percentage of people killed or seriously injured in crashes linked to speed and crashes that occur at intersections. This targets the people who drink and drive regularly, who don't wear seat belts, who speed, run red lights and otherwise drive dangerously.
Young drivers are another important target.
While they account for less than five per cent of licensed drivers, they make up almost nine per cent of drivers killed and more than 11 per cent of those seriously injured. We will work for a 20 per cent decrease in injuries and fatalities of young drivers between the ages of 16 and 19. The graduated licensing systems in place in a number of provinces are working, and the 2010 vision recommends that the rest of the country adopt such a system. Commercial vehicles figure importantly in improving road safety. Most of the victims are in passenger vehicles.
