Refresher driving lesson for the elderly
Slovenia is a country with a lot of small and very dispersed settlements where public transport does not cover the needs of mobility. 2 million inhabitants have as many as 1.2 million cars. The proportion of older drivers (61+) is 28% and is growing. For elderly, the car is a source of autonomy, mobility and a building block of social inclusion. Drivers in this age group are the most common drivers of fatal accidents, most often in which they die themselves. During their driving career, cars, infrastructure, road rules, driving dynamics have changed and new forms of mobility have developed.

Create Rescue lane in case of traffic jams on highways!
Kot prostovoljni gasilec, po poklicu pa zdravstveni reševalec sem se na avtocestah in hitrih cesta vse prepogosto srečal s težavnim pristopom preko zastojev. Leta 2013 sem bil v enoti gasilcev, ki se je prebijala na mesto dogodka, a zaradi nepravilno razvrščenih vozil nismo mogli napredovati preko zastoja, izstopil sem iz vozila in peš utiral pot gasilskemu tovornemu vozilu. Ker me je zanimalo, zakaj ljudje ne vedo, da se je v primeru zastojev potrebno pravilno razvrstiti, sem raziskal področje. Ugotovil sem, da državne in pristojne institucije niso veliko ozaveščale, zato sem se odločil za začetek akcije Ustvarimo Reševalni pas na avtocestah. Z objavo posnetkov težav, ki jih imamo, želimo pri populaciji vzbuditi zavedanje, da je pravilno razvrščanje izjemnega pomena za reševanje življenj. Slovenija je izrazito tranzitna država, zato se z zastoji na avtocestah srečujemo vsakodnevno, reševalni pas pa je potrebno ustvarjati v vsakem zastoju in ne le v zastojih ob izrednih dogodkih.
