Traffic accident statistics give food for thought

E-scooters and similar vehicles are also increasingly affected; Here the number of accidents rose by 23.1% to a total of 181 people injured. This increase sheds light on the current traffic situation, which does not shy away from challenges, as Saxony Police notes.
Cars in particular are often the main cause of traffic accidents with personal injuries. They account for around 61% of accidents, followed by cyclists with 19% and motorized two-wheelers with 9.6%. These figures show that there is an urgent need to further improve road safety and make drivers aware of responsible behavior.
