Unfortunately, such accidents are not uncommon. The monthly road traffic accident statistics from Statistik Berlin-Brandenburg show that the recording and evaluation of traffic accidents are important in order to improve traffic safety. These statistics include comprehensive data on accidents, people and vehicles affected, and the causes of accidents. They therefore serve as a basis for necessary measures in legislation, traffic education and road construction.
