Accident statistics in road traffic shows that traffic accidents are a significant danger to people. In Germany, ten people die on an average of traffic every day, and statistics show that older road users in particular have a high risk of serious accidents. Statistics from 2016 show that 3206 people lost their lives, which has been the lowest value since 1953. The majority of the traffic fatalities are car inmates, followed by power drivers and pedestrians, while the risk for young drivers (18-25 years) is particularly high, with almost 500 dead annually and over 10,000 seriously injured in this age group. Alcoholization of drivers is also a common problem KFZ.NET.

At European level, the picture is similar. Between 2010 and 2020, the number of road traffic fats fell by 36 percent. Nevertheless, 22,800 people died in road traffic in 2019, in 2020 there were 4,000 less. The average of the traffic fatalities in the EU is 42 per 1 million inhabitants, with Sweden leading the safest roads while Romania recorded the highest rate. It is particularly worrying that 12 percent of road fatalities in 2018 were in the age group of 18 to 24 years, even though they only make up 8 percent of the population. In contrast, the proportion of over 65-year road fatalities rose from 22 percent in 2010 to 28 percent europarl.europa.eu.
