accident statistics and traffic safety

Such accidents throw a light on the current traffic safety situation, which is recorded by the Statistics on traffic accidents . These statistics serve to extract reliable, comprehensive and comparable data on traffic safety nationwide. They offer a basis for measures in legislation, traffic education and road construction. In particular, structures of the accident and the relationships between accident -relevant factors are illuminated. The data collected are crucial for the development of state transport policy and contribute to improving infrastructure and traffic safety.

The abnormality that motorcycles often occur in such accident statistics underlines the need to increase security for two- and three-wheeled vehicles. Road users, especially motorcyclists, are exposed to higher risks in many cases, which underlines that both education and strict security guidelines are essential.
