Asian Highway Adventure
Richard Meredith and travel specialist Phil Colley completed the first-ever drive of the full extent of the new Asian Highway on August 12 after an incredible 49-day journey from Tokyo to London in an Aston Martin V8 Vantage car. The journey was undertaken in collaboration with the United Nations. It promoted the UN-backed Road Safety Is No Accident campaign and the Make Roads Safe initiative of the FIA which are both aimed at increasing awareness of road safety to help reduce the shocking toll of accident injuries and fatalities, especially in developing nations. Driving Home Road Safety 2007 aimed to raise €100,000 with a focus of saving the lives of Chinese children in particular. The map below displays the route driven by Richard and Phil.
