How many people died in road traffic accidents across the country in 2016

It is estimated to reach more than 200,000-300,000, and the official data is not very accurate.

Puzzle 1: The number of motor vehicles has skyrocketed, but the number of fatalities in car accidents has plummeted.

In 2013, there were more than 100 million cars on China's roads than 10 years ago, more than five times that of ten years ago. There is a ** description: China's roads are full of brand new vehicles driven by novices.

However, the surge in vehicles has not led to an increase in the number of fatalities in car accidents – according to the data released annually by the traffic management bureau of the public security traffic management bureau, the traffic safety authority, the number of fatalities is declining, and the decline is not small.

As shown in the two graphs above, the trends in the number of motor vehicles and the number of fatalities in car accidents are diverging. Although the traffic management department has given reasons such as "strengthening law enforcement" for this deviation, "Rome was not built in a day", is the progress in safety management enough to offset the hidden dangers caused by the increase in the number of motor vehicles?

Puzzle 2: China's car accident death rate is even lower than that of developed countries.

The high number of car accident fatalities and high mortality rates in China have been an impression that people have accumulated for a long time. But I have to say that this impression is really "out". In 2012, in terms of the number of traffic fatalities per 100,000 people, China lagged behind major developed countries such as Japan, which are known for their driving civilization, and surpassed the safety level of major developed countries such as the United States and Germany.

If there are distracting factors such as "different per capita car ownership" compared with developed countries, then China's data far surpasses that of "second camp" countries such as Brazil and Russia, as well as India and Vietnam, which are far beyond their own social development level, are enough to show that China's road safety level is high.

However, as a country where drivers have generally not learned to yield to pedestrians, isn't it surprising that such beautiful data is made?

Linking the data from the health sector, we can see that the growth trend of motor vehicles in China is the same.

The average number of traffic accidents in China is 10,000 per year, and tens of thousands of traffic accidents occur. The main risk factors for traffic accidents include: speeding, driving under the influence of alcohol and other psychoactive substances, non-use of motorcycle helmets, seat belts and child restraints, distracted driving, unsafe road infrastructure, etc.

The main reasonThe report points out that in terms of speeding, the increase in average speed is directly related to the likelihood of accidents and the severity of the consequences of accidents, and the risk of passenger death is 85% for cars traveling at 65 kilometers per hour. Driving under the influence of alcohol and other psychoactive substances increases the risk of accidents and increases significantly when alcohol concentrations rise to g dl.

In addition, proper use of safety devices can reduce the risk of accidents, with the correct use of helmets reducing the risk of fatal injuries by 42 percent, head injuries by 69 percent, and wearing seat belts by 45 to 50 percent of the risk of death for drivers and front-seat occupants.

The number of traffic fatalities in China is about 100,000.

On average, there are 500,000 traffic accidents in China every year, with more than 100,000 deaths and about 450,000 injuries due to traffic accidents, accounting for about 112 deaths in the world.

Elements of traffic accidents in China:

1. It must be caused by a vehicle. Vehicles include motor vehicles and non-motor vehicles, and cannot constitute a traffic accident without a vehicle, for example, a collision between a pedestrian and a pedestrian while traveling does not constitute a traffic accident.

2. It happened on the road. Roads refer to highways, urban roads and places that allow social motor vehicles to pass although they are within the jurisdiction of the unit, including squares, public parking lots, and other places used for public traffic.

3. Occurs in motion. It refers to the event that occurs in the process of driving or parking, if the vehicle is in a complete stop state, the pedestrian takes the initiative to collide with the vehicle or the passenger gets on and off the car in the process of crowding, falling, and ** accidents, it is not a traffic accident.

1. The mortality rate of traffic accidents is high. The world's 6 billion people die 52 million people every year, of which 500,000 die from traffic accidents, accounting for 1 of the total deaths, ranking 10th among the causes of human death. China kills 90,000 people in traffic accidents every year, accounting for a percentage of the total number of fatalities.

2. The relationship between traffic accidents and economic development. With the continuous growth of the economy, traffic violations are increasing, and the strength of forgetting traffic safety awareness for the sake of the economy is also increasing, and traffic accidents continue to grow, and there is a trend of intensification. 3. Poor first-aid ability for traffic accidents The traffic accidents in Tokyo 100 can receive timely and effective first aid, so the fatality rate of traffic accidents in Tokyo is only.

According to Mr. Duan's statistics, 85 of the fatalities in traffic accidents occurred within 30 minutes. This means that receiving timely and effective first aid within 30 minutes can save the lives of most of the injured. The number of people who die in traffic accidents in China is 90,000 every year, and if first aid is timely and effective, there may be 60,000 fewer deaths.

Where a traffic accident causes the death of the victim, in addition to compensation for the relevant expenses during the rescue period, compensation shall also be made for funeral expenses, living expenses of dependents (if there are dependents raised by the deceased during his lifetime), compensation for death, expenses for mental damages, and other reasonable expenses such as transportation expenses, accommodation expenses, and loss of work incurred by the victim's relatives in handling funeral matters. 1. Funeral expenses shall be calculated on the basis of the average monthly wage of employees in the previous year at the location of the court where the lawsuit is filed, and shall be calculated on the basis of the total amount for six months. 2. The living expenses of the dependents shall be calculated according to the degree of the dependent's inability to work, and in accordance with the standards of the per capita consumption expenditure of urban residents and the per capita annual living expenditure of rural residents in the previous year at the location of the court where the lawsuit is filed.

if the dependant is a minor, it is calculated to be 18 years old; If the dependant is unable to work and has no other livelihood**, 20 years shall be counted. However, if the age is over 60 years old, the age shall be reduced by one year for each additional year; Those over the age of 75 are counted as five years. 3. The death compensation shall be calculated on the basis of the per capita disposable income of urban residents or the per capita net income of rural residents in the previous year at the location of the court where the lawsuit is filed, and shall be calculated over a period of 20 years.

However, if the age is over 60 years old, the age shall be reduced by one year for each additional year; Those over the age of 75 are counted as five years.

Legal basisAccording to Article 133 of the Criminal Law, criminal liability for death caused by a traffic accident is as follows: 1. Whoever violates traffic and transportation management regulations and thus causes a major accident, causing serious injury or death to a person or causing major losses to public or private property, shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years or criminal detention; 2. Where a person escapes after causing a traffic accident or has other particularly heinous circumstances, he shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than seven years; 3. Whoever causes death as a result of escape shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than seven years.
