Focus on traffic safety

In 2019 there were 22,800 traffic fatalities in the EU, while in 2020 the number decreased to 18,800. These preliminary statistics show that in 18 EU member states the number of fatalities is at a record low, but we know that the pandeme-related decline in traffic had an impact on the number of accidents that are difficult to measure, how to measure how Europarl reported

The age group of 18 to 24 year olds is particularly worrying, which made 12 percent of road fatalities in 2018. However, this group is only 8 percent of the population. This shows that young drivers are particularly at risk. Nevertheless, it can be seen that the number of traffic fatalities in this age group has been reduced by 43 percent since 2010 - a positive development that matters.

Whatever the statistics and reports fail, as the tragic incident on Landstrasse 465 shows: behind every number and every report is a human fate. Traffic safety remains a central challenge that we have to continue to encounter with commitment.
