Abstract

Road accidents may involve collisions between vehicles of different weights under a variety of circumstances. It is rare for vehicles of equal weight to collide. In the past, it has not always been possible to completely quantify the seriousness of accidents or the risk of being injured or killed in Germany because there is no direct link between vehicle mass and the insurance association based on single accident cases. This analysis covered front- seat passengers using seat belts as well, but not only the drivers.
