decline in traffic accidents in the EU
In recent years, traffic accident statistics in Europe have developed positively, but the dangers on the street remain. Between 2010 and 2020, the number of road traffic fats fell by 36 percent. However, there were still 22,800 traffic fatalities in 2019, which shows that the challenges are still present. In 2020, a reduction by 4,000 was recorded compared to the previous year. These figures make it clear that despite a pandeme-related decline in traffic, which is difficult to influence the number of accidents, such as "https://www.europarl.europa.eu/topics/DECLE/20190410STO3615/Verundnutsgstatistiken-in-eu-infographik"> European Statistics show.
The age range of road users who are affected is particularly alarming. In 2018, 12 percent of the traffic fatalities between 18 and 24 years old, although this age group is only 8 percent of the population. At the same time, 76 percent of the traffic fatalities are men, a fact that remains relatively constant in all EU member states.In the case of the incident on the A62, questions about security arise on the streets and the measures that can be taken to prevent such aggressive actions. The police have already started the investigation, and the hope is that the perpetrators' witnesses can be caught.
The incident underlines the importance of security instructions for drivers and the responsibility that everyone bears in road traffic in order to ultimately minimize the risk of themselves and others.
