In addition to the well-known risk factors speeding, non-use of seatbelts, and drug influence, factors like illness, distraction and falling asleep contribute substantially to the number of road fatalities. The contribution of each factor to the number of fatalities is estimated as a function of exposure and relative risk. Vulnerable road users, young male car drivers, and heavy vehicles are the groups that contribute most to the number of fatalities. Targeting efficient countermeasures at the mentioned risk factors and groups is expected to yield considerable reductions in the number of serious road crashes.
