Abstract:
The results of the research conducted in the Emergency Center during the period 2005 - 2008 are showing an enormous increase in the number of road traffic accidents. In this increase, except reasons mentioned above and among others, the following factors have contributed: enormous increase of number of persons equipped with driving license (5,6), driving speeds above permitted norms are considered a primary cause of road traffic accidents. An important factor that has influenced the cause of accidents was the consumption of alcohol before or during driving the vehicle, non-wearing of seat belts and protective helmets. The worldwide data show that the role of the safety belts enables a reduction of health consequences (1-3). We don't have any precise data from the Kosovo police service in regard to the existing correlation between wearing the safety belt and the degree of damage to the injured, as these data are not taken by the traffic police when an accident happens. The negligence of pedestrians continues to remain a matter of concern and the pedestrians are considered as a vulnerable group (7.8).
