Killers on the road

Why?

Human behaviour is at the root of more than 90% of road accidents.

In Belgium:

• 1 in 3 fatal accidents is due to inappropriate speed,

• around 50 road deaths each year are caused by distraction from mobile phones,

So continuing to raise drivers’ awareness remains essential. By avoiding unnecessary risks, the number of accidents can already be reduced significantly.
