Abstract: The current understanding that road crashes are only a problem in the transport sector is misguided. Road safety and its provision is, first of all, a social problem, the solution of which depends primarily on the health authorities, the economic sector and the family. According to the forecasts of the World Health Organization (WHO), by 2020, road traffic injuries will take the third place in the list of causes of death, giving way only to cardiovascular and neuropsychiatric diseases. By this year, the road fatality rate will be 30% in high-income countries and over 80% in low- and middle-income countries. Statistics on the number of road accidents and the negative consequences associated with them at the 58th session of the UN General Assembly are recognized as a "global crisis".
Key words: safety, traffic, incident, consequence, accident, experience, practice.
