… most victims are not the drivers of agricultural vehicles, but the 'other party' (an average of 13 dead and 89 seriously injured per year).

… accidents involving an agricultural vehicle are three times more likely to be fatal than accidents involving a passenger car and one and a half times more likely to be fatal than accidents involving a heavy commercial vehicle (lorry, truck with trailer or bus).

… 26% of accidents involving an agricultural vehicle occur within built-up areas and 74% outside built-up areas. In the majority of cases, these are municipal roads or roads belonging to a water board.
