| Description | Number of traffic accidents in the territory of Europe is still growing. It is associated with large material losses, often permanent damage to health and the loss of lives of road users. The World Health Organization says that more than 80 % of traffic accidents are caused by inappropriate human behavior in the transport system. The European Commission urged EU Member States to reduce the number of people killed in traffic accidents by half / compared with 2001, when they killed more than 50,000 people / till 2010. The new Road traffic law No. 8/2009 Collection of Laws came to force in Slovak Republic. It replaced the Road traffic act No. 315/1996 Collection of Laws. In our work we dealt with the legislative process of the Road Traffic Act No. 8/2009 Collection of Laws. We have collected and processed information about traffic accidents in Slovak Republic in terms of change and amendment of the Road Traffic Act. We aimed to compare the old law (No. 315/1996 Collection of Laws) and present Road traffic law on No. 8/2009 Collection of Laws. The amendment to the Road Traffic Act No. 8/2009 Collection of Laws. Slovakia has fulfilled its purpose. There were 347 people killed in traffic accidents and 1400 heavily injured people in 2009, which are the lowest numbers. There were 25 975 traffic accidents in 2009 which is the lowest number in last 24 years (since 1985). |
