security statistics and measures

These incidents take place against the background of a worrying increase in traffic accidents. According to the Federal Ministry of Digital and Transport (BMDV), 2,839 people died in road traffic accidents in Germany in 2023, which corresponds to an increase of 1.8 percent compared to the previous year. These figures illustrate urgency to take effective measures to improve traffic safety. The Ministry pursues the goal of the "Vision Zero" - no dead in road traffic. Measures to increase traffic safety are therefore essential, in particular through innovations in the road traffic regulations, which should enable more secure and more climate -friendly use of traffic. Initiatives such as the turning assistant for trucks and the development of new vehicle security systems at European level are just a few examples of comprehensive efforts in this area, such as bmdv.bund.de documented.
