Road traffic accidents are not confined simply to drivers. Many different types of road user can be involved, often through no fault of their own. Pedestrians, cyclists, horse-riders, road maintenance workers and emergency technicians can be affected, and many receive serious injuries every year.
Age and experience is no protection
Statistics bear out time after time that road traffic accidents affect people of all ages and levels of driving experience – and
that, in spite of improved road and car safety, the number of people hurt annually is still very high.
Shocking statistics
Every year as many as 40,000 people are seriously injured or killed as the result of a road traffic accident. The World Health
Organisation has reported that, if the current trend continues, then death from a road traffic accident could become the single
largest preventable cause of death worldwide – out-stripping HIV, heart disease and strokes.
Vulnerable road users
It’s been shown that work-related driving accounts for the largest single cause of road traffic accidents – and those who
drive more that 25,000 miles a year or more face the biggest risk of injury. Motorcyclists and cyclists are also particularly
vulnerable – especially between the ages of 16-20 and 31-35, which the Department for Transport has identified as the two peak
ages for motorcycle and cycle accidents.
