Road Rage affects everyone! Every year for the past 6 years R.O.A.R.R. has advocated against Road Rage behavior. During the second week of July, this year it is July 10-16, 2011, there has been a Road Rage Awareness Week Campaign which gives that extra "PUSH" to raise awareness of Road Rage and educate on the causes, effects and the prevention of Road Rage.
R.O.A.R.R. has partners with the State of Michigan, Montana, Iowa, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Alabama; Counties and cities throughout Michigan are also on board in encouraging all residents of their state to promote the prevention of a dysfunctional act and to be considerate of other drivers.
R.O.A.R.R. is encouraging all states, counties and cities to proclaim "Road Rage Awareness Week - July 10-16, 2011".
Whereas, A study by the AAA Foundation indicates that an average of at l,500 men, women, and children are injured or killed each year in the United States from the violent acts of road rage; and,
Whereas, The National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration defines Road Rage as an assault with a motor vehicle or other dangerous weapons by the operator or passenger(s) of another motor vehicle, or an assault precipitated by an incident that occurred on a roadway; and,
Whereas, Reaching Out Against Road Rage, Inc. (R.O.A.R.R., Inc.) is committed to the task of stopping the killing, physical injuries, and mental anguish by partnering with States and their communities to reprogram the destructive attitudes and behaviors that cause Road Rage;
Now, Therefore, be it Resolved, That I, ________________, (governor,mayor, commission), do hereby proclaim the week of July 10-16, 2011, Road Rage Awareness Week. We will make efforts to assist in saving lives from the senseless acts of Road Rage and the behaviors that can lead to Road Rage.
