回顾全球道路交通事故的威胁,特别是马来西亚——社 会视角
摘要
道路事故的统计数据和经济影响。全世界每年有 117 万人死于道路交通事故,其中 70% 发生在发展中国家。 65% 的
死亡涉及行人,其中 35% 是儿童。据估计,全世界每年有 23–34 百万人在道路交通事故中受伤——这一数字几乎
是先前估计的两倍。据估计,每年有超过 200 名美国公民死于国外的道路交通事故。在欧洲,每年有超过 50,000 人
死于交通事故,超过 150,000 人仍然残疾。令人遗憾的是,1999 年马来西亚的道路交通事故总数超过 223,000 起。
1999 年平均每天有 16 人死于这些道路交通事故。注意力不集中、鲁莽驾驶、缺乏适当的保护、超速行驶、不良的个
人习惯、社交和行为不端以及大型车辆的粗心大意的司机是导致事故的一些问题。在马来西亚,摩托车致命事故 (60%)
值得高度关注。幼儿和老年人被发现属于弱势年龄组。在马来西亚,仅在 1999 年一年,普通保险公司就汽车索赔支
付了 16.7 亿令吉或平均每天 460 万令吉。现在人们认识到,道路交通事故是一个重大的公共卫生问题,因为涉及的
受害者人数众多,而且对他们自己和他们的家人造成的后果很严重。
