This article analyzes the main risk factors for road accidents and their impact on road mortality and injury. The most significant of these are speeding, alcohol consumption, and motorcycle use. Age, gender, and mobile phone use while driving are also significant factors. Seasonality, time of day, and road surface quality have a lesser impact on the risk of road accidents. Knowledge of road accident risk factors will enable the implementation of more effective measures to prevent road incidents. This, in turn, will reduce road user fatalities and injuries and reduce the material costs associated with the consequences of road accidents.</abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>road accidents</kwd><kwd>drivers</kwd><kwd>risk factors</kwd><kwd>injuries</kwd><kwd>letality</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>дорожно-транспортные происшествия</kwd><kwd>водители</kwd><kwd>факторы риска</kwd><kwd>травматизм</kwd><kwd>летальность</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Burzyńska M., Pikala M.
