15% of young people between 18 and 25 cause at least one accident per year, according to a study of accidents on car insurance for young people who carried out the Foundation Mutua Madrilena.
This means that over 600 people die each year from such accidents, and over a hundred are disabled. It also shows that traffic accidents remain the leading cause of death among young people.
In this sense, the boys aged between 18 and 25 cause 67% more injury accidents than girls the same age. Also, these young people cause a 242% more accidents than older men.
Another of the highlights of the study is that the lower the age of the driver, the greater the risk of causing an accident, due to low risk perception and less driving experience.
With the primary objective of reducing these figures, the Foundation of the company car insurance Mutua Madrilena and the Association for the Study of Spinal Cord Injury (AESLEME) have launched the campaign to prevent accidents among young people “Hang on to of life.”
This is to educate the Spanish university community of the importance of knowing the risks that exist at the wheel and the consequences of breaking the rules of road safety. To do this, through powerful conferences, it is explained how to avoid accidents, which can be the causes that originate and what consequences it may bring attitudes while driving, such as alcohol and drug use, phone use phone, smoking while driving, etc..
Moreover, we must mention the conference about the depression that has recently Dr. Juan Jose Lopez-Ibor at the headquarters of the Foundation of the company car insurance Mutua Madrileña Madrid.
One of the main conclusions of the talk shows is that over 60% of cases of depression are overcome by proper treatment, for which “is key to get make sense of the suffering,” as stated by Lopez- Ibor.
In general, the talk, part of the lecture on the Prevention and Health Insurance launched by Mutua Madrilena in 2009, has focused on depressive disorders and sadness. In this sense, we have explained the main reasons that create these “diseases” as well as the mechanisms that should encourage people who have to solve them.
