Toni Donato Bolis - do not drive distracted!
And on Saturday it was the sad 1 yr anniversary of the crash that stole
the loves of Toni Donato Bolis and her unborn child Ryan, who was to be
born in 2 days because of a distracted driver. We must stop these
tragedies from occurring to any more innocent victims...

Yesterday we honored Jessica Uhl (6/4/89-11/23/07) who would shave turned 23. Instead she and her sister lost their lives to a distracted State Trooper who was speeding, talking on his phone, and texting on his computer. Please do only one thing while you are behind the wheel... DRIVE!!

The case of Cornelia Galavan - Bucharest - Romania
My name is Cornelia Galavan and aI am 53 years old, I am from Bucharest - Romania.
Thirteen years ago I was the victim of an accident, which left me disabled.
This tragic accident was amplified by an inequitable act of justice which has been going on for thirteen years, having moral and material effects going far beyond those of the road crash.
In the act of justice I met corruption, abuse and crime, as well as a legislation favouring the authors of road traffic tragedies in Romania.
In between hospitals and courts of law I came to meet tens of victims of road crashes and families of the deceased, who accused the abuses and inequity of the act of justice concerning these tragedies.
Thus, I took the initiative of officially organising the first actions of protest in Romania by the victims of road crashes in front of state institutions as early as 1998, drawing a distrass signal to the way these tragedies are resolved, as well as to the passivity of the state to the high number of serious traffic accidents.
In order to prove the presence of corruption in the act of justice regarding criminal records I managed to bring before the court of law for the first time in Romania a judicial auto technical expert who was condemned for forged expertise.
Following the public involvement and the connections with tens of victims and mourning families, but also that of my personal tragedy and the abuses faced in resolving my tragedy, I took the initiative of starting for the first time an association of the victims of road safety under the name Association of the Victims of Road Traffic – AVAC.
Also as a first, I initiated and organised project ROAD TEARS ( LACRIMA RUTIERA) as early as 2001, establishing the commemoration of road victims yearly, six years before the Romanian Government recognised it. At present, the project which reached its Xth edition this year is running on the World Remembrance Day for Road Traffic Victims, as established by the UN.
The innovative project of a disabled victim in clutches was appreciated by high profile personalities such as President of Romania Traian Basescu, Her Royal Highness Princess Margaret, Chief of EU Delegation, Jonathan Scheele (UK), Minister of Administration and Internal Affairs Vasile Blaga and others, while at the Civil Society Gala – 2006 ROAD TEARS was granted the Special Award.
On an international plane, project ROAD TEARS is known and appreciated by the Council of Europe at a high level, and in 2009, UN- WHO invited me at the World Conference of Road Safety NGOs which took place in Brussels on May 7-8, as sole invitee from Romania.
Moreover, the project is currently recognised by several organisations and associations in Europe and in the world, which appreciate the initiative and the efforts of a road traffic victim to continue ROAD TEARS.
About my tragedy, the abuse and corruption in the act of justice, as well as to the civic and public involvement which led to personal initiatives for the first time in Romania are testimony the articles published in the mass-media over the 13 years of nightmare spent in the justice hell machine which ruined my life worse than the accident itself, but also the 13 years of civic and public involvement run with the purpose of reducing road tragedies, as well as for a “real road traffic justice” through which the lives of road traffic victims and the deceased should no longer be despised by the judges in a permissive legislation which favours the “road assassins”.
Best regards,
