More accidents with fatalities occur...
Statistics
Explanation
The **majority of fatal accidents** occur on **interurban roads**, that is, on roads outside towns or cities. This is due to several factors:
- **Straight roads**: Although it may seem that curves are more dangerous, in reality, most accidents occur on straight sections of interurban roads.
- **Distractions**: Accidents due to distractions are more common on roads than in the city, especially on highways and expressways.
- **Driving conditions**: On interurban roads, drivers tend to drive at **higher speeds**, which increases the risk of serious accidents.
- **Seasons and times**: Accidents are more frequent during the summer, on weekends, and in the early morning hours, times when it is common to travel on interurban roads.
In contrast, although there are many accidents in cities, they tend to be less fatal and more related to pedestrian run-overs. Therefore, it is important to be especially careful when driving on interurban roads to reduce the risk of serious accidents.
