The traffic safety situation in Germany

Such accidents illustrate the importance of a comprehensive traffic safety policy. Statistics of the Federal Statistical Office show that the extraction of reliable and differentiated data is essential. They serve as the basis for legislation as well as for measures in traffic education and road construction. The nationwide traffic accident statistics record not only the accidents themselves, but also the associated factors and causes of the accident. This information is important to continuously improve the security on our streets, as Destatis.

It is to be hoped that such tragic events can be avoided in the future. Driving safety is a topic that affects us all, and everyone can help make the streets safer. So stay careful and prudent, because driving is no coincidence, but an active contribution to the safety of all road users.
