statistical background to traffic accidents
In order to better understand such operations, we take a look at the overarching statistics. According to Destatis.de, the results on the accident statistics are used to create comparable data on the traffic safety situation in Germany. These statistics are particularly important for the development of measures in legislation and traffic education as well as in road construction. The accumulated data on accidents offer important insights into the causes and frequency of these events and thus also affect state traffic policy.
It is crucial that such information is charged and analyzed not only at the local level, but also throughout Germany to ensure security on the streets. The regular collection of this data has an immediate influence on infrastructure projects and helps to make the traffic world safer. Fortunately, nobody was seriously injured in this accident, which shows that rapid action of the emergency services - even if no human rescue was necessary - is of great importance. It is to be hoped that drivers will continue to be careful and considerate on the streets and avoid such accidents.| Details | |
