The most common causes of accidents are mistakes in parking and parking (33.34 %) and when turning or reversing (11.51 %). But particularly questionable: almost a third of all accidents with injuries can be attributed to non -adapted speed.

The authorities plan regular controls for improving traffic safety for 2025. Preservation of priority and lack of safety distances are also the main causes of the most serious accidents. The upcoming measures should not only reduce accidents, but also drastically minimize the number of injured and dead on our streets.
