“…23 The period of occurrence of transportation accidents in the present study contradicts the findings of most other research, which indicated that greater numbers of traffic accidents occur on the weekends due to lower policing levels and greater numbers of inexperienced drivers, along with the intake of alcoholic beverages. 24 The difference found in the present study may have been due to the use of vehicles as a means of transport to go to work, which would explain the greater numbers of traffic accidents in the morning and in the middle of the week. The fact that most of the victims were alone may strengthen this hypothesis.…”

“…Studies show that, since the 1980s, deaths caused by transport accidents are the most frequent in terms of overall mortality in Brazil and that, currently, motorcyclists are the second most frequent type of victim in traffic, with high hospitalization rates 17 . Among the victims, male adolescents and young adults are reported as the most susceptible ones, due to their high-risk behavior resulting from their lack of maturity, challenging behavior, and combination of alcohol/drugs and driving, leading to speeding, high-risk maneuvers and lack of use of safety equipment 18 . Additionally, the following factors should be considered: the increase in the number of vehicles, unplanned urbanization, poor road and vehicle conditions, lack of inspection, the impunity of offenders and, mainly, the lack of traffic safety culture, among others 19 .…”

“…Considering the fact that traffic accidents result in different types of costs (health system, vehicle damages, loss of productivity due to sequelae and deaths, and family and social impact) 18 , it is necessary to reflect on the importance of prevention, using strategies that integrate the education, transport, safety, health and social work sectors, among others, in addition to involving the civil society with traffic awareness and education.…”

“…Em todos os países a mortalidade em mulheres vítimas de AT é menor que nos homens de todas as idades. (11,12,13,14,18,28,33,34,35,36,37,38,39,40,41,42,43,44,45,46,47,48,49,50,51,52,53,54,55,56,57,58,59,60,61,62,63) .…”
