Read about what experts working in the field of road traffic safety think about us.

Ljubo Zajc, director of the Slovene Public Agency for Traffic Safety

"Real life stories definitely touch our hearts the most. We remember them and they stay in our memory the longest. This is the true value of this project."

"If we want to reduce the number of road accident casualties we must change the philosophy of our work. We must view a Slovene citizen as a potential victim of such an accident."

Katarina Kresal, Internal Affairs Minister

"Such stories always touch me. When I see how big of an influence such an accident has on people, their lives, parents, relatives, and in what a huge way their lives change in a blink of an eye, I am always deeply touched."

dr. Patrick Vlačič, Minister of Transport

"What ministers and parents say about it may not be enough. Such lectures are very good, because young people get information from someone who has survived a traffic accident."

Karol Turk, director of Police Directorate Celje

"Their campaign is commendable! Young people get to "feel" the pain that these people are experiencing after their accidents. The police are present in kindergartens and primary schools, but not as much in high schools. They do influence youth, though the lectures are somewhat dull. In future more attention should be payed to students of high schools. The way to do this is to bring together various societies and institutions and prepare joint campaigns. In addition, we need more media coverage to prevent alcoholism and to better the general behaviour of traffic participants."

Srdjan Džumhur, procurator of the company a2s and initiator of project

"We should begin to educate people and achieve a high degree of awareness especially with the youngest drivers, so that they will be aware of their huge responsibility when driving."

Janko Goršek, direktor of the General Police Directorate

"The police department is one of the bearers of the national program of road traffic safety and for several years we have been actively striving – with repression as well as preventive activities – to better the road traffic safety in Slovenia. We are actively involved in numerous projects of various institutions and non-governmental organizations, including your project I still drive - but I don't walk.
The project provides a new, different and very welcome way of educating and raising awareness of individuals and groups, especially the young, on the importance of following road traffic regulations. Young people are among the most vulnerable groups of road users. That is why it is proper and commendable that the project is mostly directed towards them, whilst also having a positive effect on the general public."
