  • TRAFFIC INCIDENTS IN AUSTRALIA

  • There are about 3,500 people killed in road accidents each year in Australia, another 30,000 to 32,000 are seriously injured.
    Information published by the Commonwealth Bureau of Statistics and various State/Territory authorities show that road accidents have certain trends and patterns.
  • Here are some examples:
    • Young drivers are involved in serious accidents to a much greater extent than would be expected from their numbers in driving population. A disproportionate number of accidents involve people in the 17 to 25 year age range
    • Drivers and passengers account for more than two out of three killed or injured in traffic accidents
    • More fatal accidents occur on straight sections of road than at either bends or intersections
    • Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays are the worst days of the week for accidents. Between them, these days account for more than half of all road casualties in Australia
    • Half of the serious crashes at these times involve alcohol and other drugs, compared with 1 in 7 serious crashes at other times. Almost one in every five casualties is killed or injured on a Saturday
    • Of the drink drivers killed in Victoria, 50 percent are between the ages of 18 to 24 years
    • The number of accidents occurring peak between 4pm and midnight. That is nearly half of all accidents with casualties in Australia occur between the hours of 4pm and midnight
    • Other factors that impact on road accidents are:
      • Driver stress and fatigue
      • Adverse weather and road conditions
      • mpairment to vision such as, sun, glare, rain, night driving and blind spots
