ROAD TOLL FOR 1971: 1125 MORE FATALITIES IN ONE YEAR

This article reviews the efforts made in France during 1971 to try to improve road safety. These efforts concern the training of hospital staff, radio-telephone equipment for hospitals, installation of telephone kiosks, organization of first aid to casualties, creation of 70 mobiles units and liaison between hospitals and ambulances by means of telecommunications. A study is made of the evolution in accidents based on a recent publication entitled "car insurance statistics", published by the "association generale des societies d'assurance contre les accidents" (general association of accident insurance forms).
