Gondolkodjon Mielőtt Vezet
A 2005 márciusában indított GONDOLKODJON MIELŐTT VEZET közlekedésbiztonsági kampány a FIA Foundation (Nemzetközi Autószövetség Alapítvány), a Bridgestone Corporation és a nemzeti autóklubok közös nemzetközi kezdeményezésére jött létre.
For Bridgestone Corporation, the campaign is an extension of the tyre safety educational activities that the Bridgestone Group companies conduct on a global scale.
For the FIA Foundation, the campaign builds on recent successful seat belt campaigning in Europe and Latin America.

Comments on the campaign....
Hiroshi Yamaguchi, Bridgestone vice president,
“As the world’s largest manufacturer of tyres and other rubber products, we are keenly aware of our responsibility to do everything possible to maximise safety. That includes working to acquaint customers with the basics of tyre safety and to sensitise them to the importance of routine tyre inspections. Our Bridgestone Tyre Safety Project, launched in Japan in 2003, is an initiative to enlist customers in the pursuit of tyre safety. Our collaboration with the FIA Foundation is a welcome opportunity to globalise that initiative.”
David Ward, Director General of the FIA Foundation,
“If more drivers and car occupants followed the simple advice in our campaign - wearing a seat belt, using a child restraint, checking head rests and tyres – thousands of unnecessary injuries and deaths could be prevented. This is the objective of Think Before You Drive”.
Max Mosley, President of the FIA,
“I am delighted to support this initiative on behalf of the FIA and as a trustee of the FIA Foundation. So many road deaths and injuries are entirely preventable, either because the crash could have been avoided in the first place or because the injury consequences could have been mitigated by simple safety actions”.
