There are several studies analyzed and determined the factors affecting roadside accidents, number of deaths and injuries. Various methods are used to collect and analyze data and found diverse results. (Spoerri, Egger & Elm, 2010) examined socio demographic and geographical determinants of road traffic mortality in Switzerland used 2000 census data from 2000 to 2005, found increased mortality in cyclist and pedestrians after the age of 55 years. Mortality rate in individuals with primary education
the report made by WHO (2015), nearly 1.2 million people die worldwide on roads, and more than 50 million injured. While road crashes are common problem everywhere in the world, there is great disparity by income. Substantial decline in road crashes was seen in the developed nations since the 1960s and 1970s. Unfortunately, the reverse is true for middle and low income countries which bear a disproportionate burden of road traffic related deaths relative to the small level of motorization (20%) exist
usually recall traumatic experiences more easily and accurately than other memories. Although I hate remembering the car accident that I experienced in 2015, the flashbulb memory that I have of this incident helped me tremendously throughout the legal process that followed. Flashbulb memories do not necessarily have to be traumatic. Common traumatic flashbulb memories are car accidents and shootings, but one’s wedding day or graduation could even be considered a flashbulb memory (Flashbulb). These types
license. Researchers have proven that “lower quality sleep has been shown to be associated with higher prevalence of self reported accidents among teen drivers” (Impact 6). Although high school students are able to drive, early school start times have made driving to school a hazard. Students are involved in more accidents due to their poor sleeping habits. Car accidents caused by early school start times can be very dangerous and can even be fatal to student drivers. Additionally, later school start
lighting equipment truck accidents Truck equipment maintenance for truck owners involves ensuring the vehicle is clearly visible especially during the night. The state and federal laws obligate that a truck should be thoroughly inspected before it goes out for shipment. The inspection ensures that including other things, the reflectors and lights are in good working condition and are visible for safe night travel. Statistics show that one out of five truck accidents happen at night, making
to increase safety enhancements for motorcyclist. Risk motorcycle is risk that motorcyclists have an accident but use safety, use helmet to protect and it can low risk from the accident. Design and planning is important to implement the motorcycle lane and ensure a high level of road safety, road network planning needs to be based on the best knowledge available of the effects of road design on road safety. Safety is important to rider motorcyclist and the thing that motorcyclist must use is helmet
Road traffic safety rules are the disciplinary measures taken in general to protect users of the road from fatal accidents or from getting injured seriously. General road users include pedestrians walking or running on the curbside, cyclists, motorbikes and passengers of public vehicle transport system. The general idea of a Safe System technique is to ensure that the impact energies in case of an accident remain below a certain threshold ( critical ) values which might result in a fatal death or
distraction, and accidents can cause situations such as disabilities and death of an individual. Distraction has been studied to be one of the major lead of danger causing accidents in the country. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), nine people are killed each day and over a thousand more are
economic and societal costs of road safety incidents make road safety incidents a major public health concern. The NHTSA estimates that in the U.S., motor vehicle crashes have an estimated cost of close to a 900 billion dollars a year(https://www.nhtsa.gov/sites/nhtsa.dot.gov/files/2015sae-blincoe-costs_of_crashes2010.pdf) in economic and societal costs and until recently, all efforts to reduce their impacts have focused on improving survivability of victims of road safety incidences, improving passive
