Driver as a Factor of Road Traffic Safety

Danas kad se nalazimo u suvremenom svijetu, gdje se svaki dan nešto novo izumi u automobilskoj industriji u svrhu zaštite vozača i putnika, te drugih sudionika u prometu, još uvijek su prometne nesreće ubojica broj jedan. Posljedice prometnih nesreća postale su veliki zdravstveni, društveni i ekonomski problem suvremenog svijeta. Od svih čimbenika sigurnosti prometa čovjek je najveći krivac za prometne nesreće zbog svojih osobnih značajki, psihofizičkih svojstva te obrazovanja i kulture stoga mu se treba posvetiti dosta pažnje u proučavanju njegovog ponašanja kako bi se smanjio njegov utjecaj u prometnim nesrećama. U ovom završnom radu prikazani su svi čimbenici sigurnosti cestovnog prometa, a najveći dio ovog rada posvećen je čovjeku, odnosno vozaču. Temeljno su opisane sve njegove osobine i prikazani podatci o prometnim nesrećama u kojima je sudjelovao vozač te iznesen prijedlog mjera o edukaciji mladih vozača u svrhu smanjenja prometnih nesreća.Today, when we are in the modern world, where something new is invented every day in the automotive industry in order to protect drivers and passengers, and other road users, traffic accidents are still the killer number one.
