!!!Verkehrsunfälle

Road Accidents: In 1997, 39,695 road accidents involving personal 
injury were registered in Austria, 51,591 people were injured and 
1,105 were killed. The number of victims of road accidents had been 
declining steadily until 1996 and began to rise again for the first 
time in several years from 1997. In the early 1970s, more than 2,000 
Austrians lost their lives in road accidents every year, by the middle 
of the 1980s the number was down to 1,600. It is hoped that the 
reduction of the allowed maximum blood alcohol content from 0.8‰ to 
0.5‰ in 1998 will further reduce the number of road accidents and 
victims.
