Abstract

[China is already an automobile-dependent society. At the end of 2013, there were more than 250 million motor vehicles and nearly 280 million motorists nationwide. Among them, there were 137 million automobiles, accounting for 54.9% of all motor vehicles. With the scrapped cars excluded, the number of automobiles had a net increase of 16.51 million, up 13.7% over the previous year. The motorists totaled 219 million, and deducting the number of license cancellations, the net increase is 18.44 million, or 9.2%. Beijing has more than 5 million automobiles. According to the National Bureau of Statistics of the People’s Republic of China, since 1995 the traffic accidents and casualties have kept rising and peaked in 2002 when 773,137 traffic accidents killed 109,381 people and injured 562,074. Based on the data of the National Bureau of Statistics, in 2011 road accidents caused 26 deaths among every 100,000 licensed drivers, 2.8 deaths among every 10,000 motor vehicles and 4.8 deaths among every 100,000 people. Road safety has become an issue affecting all sectors of society.]
