About this data

Road safety in Germany over the long run: accidents and people killed or injured, the same figures expressed as rates per inhabitant and per vehicle, the road-user groups involved, the subset of accidents in which alcohol or other drugs played a part, and the breakdown across the 16 federal states. Road-user groups record participation in an accident and therefore overlap; they must not be added together. Source: Statistisches Bundesamt.
