Road safety is an imperative issue for Williams. Undeniably, our Founder and Team Principal Sir Frank Williams is a high outline object of treacherous pouring.
For 10 years we have been unindustrialized innovative simulants for Prescription. We are at the present adjusting these to produce wounding control road protection emulators.
We are concentrating our sympathies on Qatar, which has one of the world’s wickedest road safety archives. The team at the Williams Technology Centre in Qatar has industrialized the Middle East’s most urbane road safety simulant that assistances from an accurate car inside and controls, and state of the art false acumen that contains a full regeneration of the highways of Doha. This knowledge is now being secondhand to train local taxi drivers in Qatar, and tours local schools to teach the standing of road safety.
Formula One is one of the best pre-emptive safety environments of its kind with much of this knowledge transferable into everyday motoring. There are over 1.3 million deaths on the world’s roads every year – more than those caused by malaria. With increasing levels of car ownership in the developing world, this trend is likely to rise alarmingly in the absence of significant and committed action. The UN’s first Global Ministerial Conference on Road Safety took place in Moscow in November 2009. Williams supported the publicity around this landmark event, both in Moscow itself as well as helping to drive overseas awareness through events, and TV & radio promotion. In addition the FIA foundation, to which Williams is a financial contributor, is a driving force in pioneering the NCAP vehicle safety standards and more recently promoting the global “Make Roads Safe” campaign.
We also support the FIA’s ‘’Action for Road Safety’’ campaign, with both Sir Frank Williams and Pastor Maldonado speaking about this important issues alongside FIA representatives in 2012.
We also deliver talks in Qatar to groups such as school children to raise awareness of road safety and highlight the importance of wearing a seatbelt.
The programmer aimed to secure pledges from up to 25,000 Qatari residents and citizens to stop speeding and to wear their seatbelts, as well as advocate safe driving among their friends and family.
