Justification of the Campaign
It is a reality that our society is changing: the life expectancy has been increased and birth rate has been reduced, so this means a progressive aging of population. Estimations expect that in 2050 almost the 30% of population will be octogenarian.
But aging does not mean apathy or inactivity... but the contrary, this is the aim of the active aging so much spoken about at the present time from all instituions and entities that work with old people: elderly have a very important role in society and are part of the education in a very important stage of life, childhood. Mobility has became in a general level in a crucial sign of the level of quality in our society, with a great importance of elderly because of the constant neccesities of moving and active participation in everyday life. An example of this is the percentage of elderly with driving license( 12% of the driver´s census), number of passengers and pedestrians.
This increase of elderly´s mobility, qualified as positive, come attach with consequences:the greatest risk of being involved in an accident.
The EU, the DGT and the City Council of Granada have as primary target prevent and reduce urban accidents and mainly the elderly´s. The 57% of mortal accident occur in the cities while from 2003 to 2012 casualties on inter – city roads have decreased (67%), on urban roads this decrease, has been much less (39%)
In the city of Granada the incidence of elderly in accidents is high although compared with 2012 in the last year 2013 have decreased the casualties on accident. Of the 4 deceased in 2013, 3 of them were older than 70 years old.
The City Council of Granada, through the Educational Road Safety Center, not only have teached Educational Road Safety to children and young people, as traditionally, but in view that elderly is another risk group because their physical,cognitives, motor and/or affective skills, have to recycle to learn how to compensate them, making displacements as drivers, pedestrians or passengers safer and less risky .
Educational Road Safety is very important at these stages, because even though there is a time to get a driving license, there is no age to remove it and this must be balanced with medical and psychological check – ups, and recycling educational programmes to adapt to the new updates and change that society sets up and we ALL have to be recycled for.
Workshops organised and materials procured.
The activity consist in an informative presentation at the classroom, with the projection of videos to show the risky behaviours of pedestrians and elderly drivers and the way to balance them.
After that, outside, on informative pannels there are shown every kind of advices to make their journeys safer.Also, there are exposed several Child Retention devices so elderly will be traffic educators to their grandsons
As special novelty, brought from the EEUU is shown a suit to feel the special difficulties of elderly people to drive, both in motor and sensorial level, being very useful to arise conciousness in a general level.
When the programme finish, documentation will be given on the part of the Local Road Safety Center and the RACE – Liberty Insurance.
Road Safety Campaing for Elderly
Rescue sheet
An useful tool to improve rescue in traffic accidents
- Up to the 63% of all the problems that the rescue team could find (identify the car, batteries, safety cushion and extraction) can be reduced with this initiative
- The RACC office in Granada has precise information
Granada, May 15th 2012.- RACC, the largest automobile club in Spain, to encourage road safety and reduce the seriousnessin traffic accidents, presents, along with the Road Safety Center Project "Rescue sheet". In this presentation, Mrs. Telesfora Ruiz, Representative of the Citizens Protection and Mobility Area, and Mrs. Sonia Menacho, Representative of the RACC Fundation in Andalusia, have explained the benefits for drivers to have a rescue sheet in their cars, and have seen a simulation of an uncage (rescue) of a victim in a traffic accident. This initiative, that has the cooperation with the Fire Squad, Local Police, 061, Civil Defence and the 112, allow the oficial cars to have a rescue sheet, an so the Representative of the Citizens Protection and Mobility area has been given the indicatives.
Rescue Sheet, essential for drivers
Rescue Sheet is a file card for the rescue squads when they have to attend a victim in a traffic accident. Thanks to this card, that shows all the necessary technical information of the vehicle in a very visual way, the rescue teams can act quickly and safety.
The main target of the Rescue Sheet is to ease the rescue (uncage) of the traffic injured in the mínimum time and with the máximum guarantees.To have a Rescue Sheet allows the rescue squad to:
- Determine manufacturer and concrete model of the vehicle
- Know the critical points to open a car and get the injured out
Example of Rescue Sheet
Target: fast and secure rescues
Safety cushions, reinforced bodywork, ABS, ESC... Today cars are safer than 10 years before. New and future propulsion systems, as hybrid, electric, hydrogen, natural gas contribute vehicles to be more respectful with the environment. Also, this sophistications retard the rescue teams, because in case of a serious accident, if before it took 10 minutes to take the injured out of the car, now it could be longer. It is recommended that the time between the accident and the arrival of the injured to the hospital to be less than an hour, to guarantee a high survival level. So, it is vital to remove quickly the injured from the vehicle.
The rescue time of an injured increases with the complexity of the vehicle and the lack of information that the rescue squads have.
Main identifying problems in the rescue
In a 25% of rescues the manufacturer is not identified or wrong identified, in a 45% the model, and in a 65% the year of fabrication.
Up to the 63% of the problems that the rescue team may find could be reduced with the Rescue Sheet (identify the vehicle, batteries, security cushions and extraction).
What do rescue teams need?
Clear and precise information of the vehicle they are working on: where the power line components are, where the charges of the security cushions are, what kind of fuel does it use, what are the best breakeable points of the bodywork, etc.
Mortality in traffic accident, by time:
1ª phase: Happens in the first minutes or seconds after the accident. It makes the 10% of all the dead.Because severe injures of the central nervous system or breakage of big vessels. It is very difficult even imposible to avoid this.
2ª phase: The Golden Hour, because it happens normally during the first hour after the accident. It makes the 75% of mortality. These deads are because of the obstruction of the airways or blood loss. This is the phase where we can avoid most of the deads thanks to a proper medical assistance.
3ª phase: It happens days or weeks before the incident. It makes a 15% of mortality in traffic accidents. It is because of complications after the first treatments (multiorganic failure, postoperative complications, etc). It is necessary a big effort and resources to reduce mortality in this phase.
What does the RACC propose?
- The car must have the technical information itself
- To have a standard and visual aspect, easy to use to any rescue or security squad
- That the user add this information in his vehicle
Result: rescue sheet
Where can you get it?
- www.racc.es
- www.hojaderescate.es
- City of Granada
- RACC Office in Granada (Agustina de Aragón St, 1. ground floor)
What does the user have to do?
- Print in A-4 format the sheet corresponding to his vehicle (exact type, model and year of fabrication)
- Bend the sheet in three and put it sunshade on the driver side
- Put the informative stick in the windscreen, so the rescue teams know they have this information available.

Take care of your eyes, they drive too
The City Council makes a road safety campaing based on the eyes care.
A report of the RACE and the Alain Afflelou Foundation advise that one of each four spaniards drive under their visual faculties.
The City Council in Granada, through the Mobility Area and its Representative Mrs. Telesfora Ruiz, has made a road safety campaing base don the eyes care, coinciding with this season with more sun hours and a larger number of displacements.
A report of the RACE and the Alain Afflelou Foundation, cooperative entities, advise that one of each four spaniards drive under their visual faculties; that six millions of drivers have some visual deficiency; that a 11% have some kind of driving incident because they don´t see well; that the 33% of andalusians don´t protect from the sun when driving and the 10% never protect from the sun. This report shows that one of each four drivers in Andalusia suffered a serious dazzle situation and the 75% don´t know about the damage of ultraviolet radiations. These data shows that a 38% drivers consider a high risk to drive facing the sun, situation that cause high levels of fatigue in a 30%, and it is the fourth cause of mortality in the roads.
The City Council and both fundations will give 30.000 informative leaflets for drivers to extreme security measures, in general way, and during the largest sun radiation hours in particular. Increase the security distance , drive slowlier when facing the sun or at the entrance or exit of a tunnel, and always protect the eyes with the proper glasses are some of the main advises for a correct driving.
The experts David Martín, from Alain Afflelou Foundation, and Juan Antonio Sánchez, from RACE, recommend to use lenses with suncreen below 4th category and grey glasses(respect the natural colors)or polarized glasses to avoid reflections; wear graduated sunglasses if needed; don´t stop abruptly if dazzle even if you wear sunglasses and have annual eyes revisions.
Campaign
Drivers are one of the collectives more exposed to sun radiations, that may affect both their visual health and Road Safety. It is stimated that more than 5 million drivers have a severe risk dazzle situation when driving.
To deal with this problem and make aware users, Alain Afflelou Foundation and the RACE, made a the report "Visual protection when driving", where ocular damages due to sun radiations are analysed, and also the main risks in traffic accidents due to dazzle.
Vision and Driving
Also, "Take care of your eyes, they drive too" campaign, will be developed across Spain during the summer to make drivers aware of a good ocular protection.
Importance of visual protection
Although we have natural ways to protect from the sun, as the pupil concentration or blinking, those doesn´t actívate with invisible radiation:
- Ultraviolet Rays (UV)
- Infrared Rays (IR)
A long exposure to these radiations, without a proper protection, rises severe ocular problems.
Drivers's protection habits
The study "Visual protection when driving" made by the RACE and Alain Afflelou Foundation between more that 2400 drivers shows that the 45% doesnt´t use sunglasses, and one of each four drivers have suffered a severe risk situation due to dazzle when driving.
