The number of road accident fatalities declined 30% to 116.
Drivers were responsible for 94% of accidents. The main causes of those accidents were speeding, illegal maneuvers, and failing to yield the right of way.
Drink-driving was a factor in about 7% of accidents.
There were just 170 accidents on Hungarian motorways in Q3, down 10% from the base period. The most accidents per 100 km occurred on the M5 motorway, 43, while the fewest, 5/100km, occurred on the M6. Both motorways run between Budapest and the south of the country. The data do not include the M0 motorway around the capital as the stretch is shorter than 100km.
Producing journalism that is worthy of the name is a costly business. For over 30 years, the publishers, editors and reporters of the Budapest Business Journal have striven to bring you business news that works, information that you can trust, that is factual, accurate and presented without fear or favor.Newspaper organizations across the globe have struggled to find a business model that allows them to continue to excel, without compromising their ability to perform. Most recently, some have experimented with the idea of involving their most important stakeholders, their readers.
