Sažetak
Road traffic accidents are one of the most common patterns of physical damage and mortality among young people. According to the World Health Organization, 29% of people die in cars, which constitutes almost a third of the total number of people killed in road traffic. The representation of young drivers under the age of 24 is much higher compared to other age groups in accident and fatality statistics. According to the European Commission, the risk factor of young drivers is two to three times higher than the risk factor of drivers with more traffic experience. Young drivers at their
age are in good health, like social life, tend to test their own limits, consume more opiates than other age groups, break the rules, and engage in volatile and risky behavior. The aforementioned factors and risk factors are transferred by young people in cars, either as drivers or passengers, which, together with inexperience in a dynamic traffic environment, makes young drivers the riskiest group of drivers. Accordingly, in this work, a survey was conducted with the purpose of gaining insight into the attitudes and traffic behavior of young drivers in the Šibenik-Knin County.
