The development of the traffic accident trend is described as based on official statistics and other sources of the past 20-year period, as well as the measures taken during that period and future plans. An accident prognosis model is discussed and applied to the results obtained. Single accidents have been increasing in number during 1970-1978 while the number of accidents between vehicles and unprotected individuals has gone down some. The number of accidents between motor vehicles seems to have remained constant or gone down some. The yearly number of traffic accidents involving animals that have been reported to the police increased during 1970-1978 by 3.5 times. The mandatory use of seat belts in the front seat has resulted in a reduction of the number of deaths and the accidents have become less serious. No deaths have been reported for children using car seats (60% of children under 4). The prognosis is that the trend of the accident risk will continue in the same direction. New cars are being built with systems that indicate worn brake pads, incorrect tire pressure, incorrect loading, defective lights, or slippery road conditions.
