The role of road safety
The ADAC has been researching the causes of serious traffic accidents in Germany since 2005. The aim of this research is to provide recommendations for accident prevention and reducing sequelae. The ADAC has always found that driver distraction or tiredness are often the cause of accidents. For example, over 10% of traffic accidents outside urban areas are caused by distracted or tired drivers. This highlights the need to educate drivers and promote safety campaigns to minimize the risk of accidents. Further information on accident research is available from ADAC.
Furthermore, the study of accident data shows that country roads are particularly dangerous. In 2023, 57% of road deaths and 39% of serious injuries came from these roads. It has also been found that drivers aged 65 and over are more likely to cause accidents, which underlines the urgency of specific traffic training for older road users.
In order to increase safety on the roads, the ADAC is committed to introducing modern assistance systems. These could help reduce the number of traffic accidents and the severity of injuries.
