When and where is the risk of being involved in a traffic accident the greatest?

To reduce the risk of being involved in an accident, you need to know where and when the risks of accidents are greatest. You should be extra attentive:

• In junctions where the priority to the right-rule applies.
• When turning left on a country road.
• While overtaking.
• During rush hour.
• When there is heavy traffic.
• During weekends and holidays.
• During summer.
• Late at night and early in the morning.

Most accidents occur in densely built-up areas, but the most serious accidents occur outside of densely built-up areas.
