Are you driving safely?
Based on traffic accident data from across Japan, the probability of an individual being involved in a traffic accident in a year is about 0.2%, and the probability of a driver causing a personal injury accident in a year is about 0.4% (according to the official website of Nagoya City).
When this is calculated over a lifetime (80 years), it means that approximately 1 in 2.5 people (about 40%) will be involved in a personal injury accident as a driver or will be a victim. About 1 in 2.5 people... it seems like a lot, but it's a number that makes sense. The most dangerous time of day is between 5 PM and 7 PM. The most common types of accidents are rear-end collisions (about 41%) and side-impact collisions (about 28%).
It's a sad thing when a family member who says "I'm off" in the morning returns home in silence.
