A new survey conducted in Turkey has discovered primary school graduates are more often involved in traffic accidents in comparison with those who graduated from higher learning institutions. Two Turkish researchers analyzed data from 501 accidents randomly chosen from court files between 2011 and 2012 to investigate the socio-economic status and demographics of people involved in the accidents and whether those play a role in the accidents. Drivers involved in 301 fatal and 200 non-fatal crashes were found to be overwhelmingly primary school graduates. A total of 43.4 percent of primary school graduates were involved in fatal crashes and another 41.5 percent involved in non-fatal ones. They are followed by high school graduates and the inclination of involvement in accidents decreases in accordance with education level. Researchers note that there has been a sufficent lack of education on traffic rules in the face of the sudden rise in the number of vehicles.
