Abstract

The author gives a report on the events in road traffic in the Federal Republic of Germany under statistical aspects--doing so he continues a tradition, which is in practice by the "Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt" (Federal Motor-Vehicle Board) since 1971. Since individual road traffic and the density of traffic are rising, the number of traffic accidents is increasing nearly proportionally to the development of the rolling stock and the quantity of driving. A small positive development seems to be seen in the rate of accidents by drunken driving. It may be, that this is a result of the information-campaigns. But nevertheless: each alcoholized driver always has to expect particularly severe consequences from an accident.
