Also, in the same time, in a long time that most of people are careless driving, violating traffic regulation, and lack of the driving courtesy. Both of the reasons will led to the increase of traffic accidents. According to the Ministry of Transportation and Communications (MOTC) R.O.C., in 2013 the total traffic accidents were totally 278,388 accidents, 1,928 deaths and 373,568 injuries. The ratio is 126.80 persons per 10,000 vehicles. These statistics clearly indicated the traffic accidents not only led to damage to families, lives and properties, but also is a heavy cost to the entire sociality.
