European Night Without Accidents in Greece

Overview

The Panos Mylonas Road Safety Institute organized the 20th annual ‘European Night Without Accidents’ in Greece. The initiative aims to prevent traffic accidents by raising awareness about the dangers of driving under the influence of alcohol, specifically targeting younger drivers.

A core element of the campaign is the ‘designated driver’ concept, where one member of a social group commits to remaining sober and wears a special bracelet to signify their role. To reinforce sobriety, volunteers and traffic police offer voluntary breathalyzer tests to these drivers.

The campaign involved widespread participation across various Greek cities and islands, including Thessaloniki, Patras, Heraklion, Corfu, and Argos. Local support included the Hellenic Red Cross, the Scouts of Greece, and various municipal authorities.
