Produktbeschreibung

Road traffic crashes are a global problem resulting in deaths, injury and property damage. The World Health Organisation statistics indicate that almost 1.26 million people are killed in road crashes each year globally, representing 25 per cent of all deaths caused by injuries and additional 50 million people are estimated to be injured. The situation is different country to country based on a country's development level, road safety systems and experiences. Amidst the many regulations in the form of driver education and training, road system and vehicle engineering and road safety regulation enforcement to reduce traffic crashes and its associated casualties, the fight is far from over especially in developing countries like Ghana. This book identifies the underlying causes of this problem especially pertaining to Ghana and also recommends measures to reduce crash occurance if not halt it completely
