Drivers of small electric vehicles are also struggling with an increase of 23.1%, which includes 181 people who had accidents, reports the Saxony Police.
These developments shed further light on the safety situation in road traffic.

The increasing number of bus passengers, which rose by 20.8% to a total of 407 people in 2024, is also causing concern, especially when one considers that larger numbers of people are often affected.
