statistics on traffic accidents
The EU average of the traffic fatalities is 42 per 1 million inhabitants, with some countries, such as Sweden, with 18 deaths per 1 million inhabitants. In contrast, Romania reported the highest rate with 85 traffic fatalities per 1 million inhabitants in 2020. These figures illustrate the need for further measures to improve traffic safety.
The age group statistics show that 28 percent of the racing dead were over 65 years old in 2018, while 12 percent between 18 and 24 years old. Despite a falling number of traffic fatalities among young drivers, it is striking that this age group is disproportionately involved in accidents.
