According to the national statistics, the collection and analysis of accidents is crucial in order to understand the traffic safety situation comprehensively. These statistics are the basis for measures in legislation, traffic education, in road construction and in vehicle technology. It is important to understand the causes of the accident and to recognize which factors lead to the fact that such incidents happen.
