Abstract: 

Each year there are about 1,000 road deaths in the Netherlands and many thousands of road users are injured. Fortunately, these numbers are slowly but surely declining. Compared with many other countries, Dutch traffic is among the safest in the world. However, good as it may be, there are still too many traffic casualties every year. Every year, a disaster occurs that society does not experience as such and therefore does not deal with as such. The average Dutchman does not really seem to care about all these anonymous deaths: road crashes are simply part of life.
