Good practices

Distraction is the cause of one third of all accidents in Austria. The perennial guiding theme of the Province of Styria / Traffic Department entitled "Keep Eyes Alert on the Road" is directed at all road users and aims to draw attention to the risk of distraction in road traffic.
We, the association GROSSE SCHÜTZEN KLEINE, have now developed special projects for children with the aim:
*to inform children on how important attention or how dangerous distraction can be in road traffic.
*to create awareness that no one can always be one hundred percent attentive.
*to help children to also recognize whether the other road user is attentive and, in an emergency, can prevent an accident with their own attention.

In search of their identity and autonomy, adolescents are often prone to disagreeing with adults and adopted rules of conduct under the pretext that their freedom is restricted. This life stage is characterized by consolidation of mental life, crystallization of attitudes and opinions and particularly by rational mental maturation. The described profile is one of the key reasons for risky behavior in traffic. The consequences are reflected in the statistics of traffic accidents in the Republic of Croatia. Young people from 15 to 24 years of age are one of the most vulnerable group in traffic. In the total number of road fatalities over the decade, adolescents have been involved in 16 - 21,5% and every second that died in car accident did not use a seat belt. All this included the need for continuous education and motivation in order to impose a pattern of responsible behavior in traffic, either as a passenger or driver. In 2016, HAK conceived and launched the project "KLIK - habit of responsible behavior" for adolescents.

Young drivers are among the most dangerous group of road users. On Czech roads, drivers under the age of 24 cause every 10th accident and are responsible for every 6th dead or seriously injured. The most common reason is fast driving. Alcohol and drugs also have a great influence on their accidents. Young motorists often take unnecessary risks, look for adrenaline situations, overestimate their abilities, but they cannot react to danger.

We train future drivers so that they are modern and safe drivers who also care about the environment. We conduct training in a much broader scope than required by local curricula. We use an electric car, a car with an automatic transmission. We take part in a special project of driving lessons on the motorway. Each student takes such classes as a standard part of the driving license course.
