Centro de Estudios Ponle Freno-Axa de Seguridad
Vial (Ponle Freno-Axa Road Safety Study Centre)
In 2015 the Ponle Freno-Axa Road
Safety Study Centre continued
its research work into preventing
accidents with the publication of
various studies, among which we
can mention a report that relating
the driver's age and the vehicle's
age to the probability of having
an accident. The study concludes
that drivers between 18 and 21
years old with cars more than 12
years old are the most likely to
have a traffic accident.
According to the
study published
by Ponle Freno-
Axa, drivers
under 21 years
old with vehicles
which are more
than 12 years old
have a higher
probability of
having a traffic
accident.
