Some facts ….
… In the Netherlands, an average of 16 people are killed and 100 seriously injured each year in accidents involving agricultural vehicles.
… the total of 116 road traffic victims were travelling with the following means of transport: 50 (Car or van), 18 (Moped or scooter), 17 (Bicycle), 12 (Motorcycle or scooter), 14 (Agricultural vehicle) and 5 victims with another type of vehicle.
… 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.
… in fatal accidents the cyclist has the highest share with 21%, followed by the motorcycle/scooter with 19%.
