(1) Source: International Road Traffic and Accident
Database (OECD). For Hungary, data are from 'Statistics of Road Traffic Accidents
in Europe' (UN/ECE).
(2) In accordance with the commonly agreed international definition, most
countries define a fatality as being due to a road accident if death occurs
within 30 days of the accident. However, the official road accident statistics
of some countries limit the fatalities to those occurring within shorter periods
after the accident. Numbers of deaths and death rates in the above table have
been adjusted according to the factors used by the Economic Commission for Europe
and the European Conference of Ministers of Transport to represent standardised
30-day deaths: Italy (7 days) + 8%; France (6 days) + 5.7%; Greece (3 days)
+15%; Portugal (1 day) +30%
(3) 1996 data
(4) Includes mopeds/mofas
(5) Road deaths (except moped users) per million motor vehicles (except mopeds).
(6) EC figures excludes mopeds, and moped user deaths for those countries indicated
by footnotes 4 & 5.
