"I do think a lot of help is needed for those who experience a traffic accident because they often need to go through this alone."
Beiron Brouwers
"I have two children, aged 5 and 7. We live in the city center of Antwerp and every morning I bring them to school by bike. Honestly, sometimes I am frightened to bring my children to school early in the morning. I’m always happy when I arrive safely at their school because the traffic is just too busy on the Flemish roads. So if we as artists can contribute to this beautiful project, I am happy to take part in this."
Peter Vermandere
“I am really eager to participate in this project because I think people are driving too fast anytime, anywhere.”

"I was once a victim of a hit-and-run traffic accident. That’s already 18 years ago. At that time there was not victim support at all. I think I would have benefited from it anyway. "
