L'Écho de Paris 06 juillet 1924


One car accident every 27 years is the average risk of a careful driver.

800,000 kilometers, or 20 times around the world, is what 31 of our travelers have traveled by car since 1921.

Aged between 22 and 50, they completed their driver's apprenticeship in eight days. Ten months of the year, in all weathers, they travel the countryside and towns of France. During these three years, no fatal accidents.

23 travelers had no accident:
8 had slight problems, here is the list:
9 car collisions or collisions, without any personal injury;
3 pedestrians jostled, no accident to the drivers themselves.

We see that on average there was 1 car accident per 90,000 kilometers.
1 person accident per 270,000 kilometers.

On this basis, the motorist doing 10,000 kilometers per year risks:

1 slight material accident once every 9 years;
1 minor accident once every 27 years.
