Mosley actually does alot to promote road safty around the world. and it has payed off, especialy in Europe. but also in other countries. over 3000 people a day die due to automobeil acidents around the world. Mosley put that figure into prespective when he was in Ireland to promote the new EU raod safty bill: that a 9/11 every day of the year.

thats 1,095,000 people a year. there is alot that Mosley does outside of F1. this award is for those activites

They should give him The Legion De'Disgraceful for his "contribution" to F1.
