HAK continues “Golden Years” project for the elderly

The Croatian Automobile Club (HAK) continuously implements the “Golden Years” project intended for the elderly aged over 65, who actively participate in traffic throughout the Republic of Croatia. So far in 2024, two interactive sessions have been held in two Croatian towns Jastrebarsko and Karlovac, located in the vicinity of Zagreb.

While the elderly may be reluctant to give up the independence, comfort and other privileges that driving brings, statistical data shows that more and more elderly people die each year as a result of road traffic crashes.

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.
