Unfallbilanz 2012 an Khmer New Year.

PHNOM PENH, April 18 (Xinhua) -- Road accidents had killed 58 Cambodian people and injured another 484 during the celebration of the traditional Khmer New Year last week, according to a report from the Ministry of Interior's Public Order Department on Monday.

The report showed that a total of 211 road accidents happened nationwide from April 13-17. Of the accidents, 33 percent were due to over-speed driving, 26 percent due to reckless driving, 20 percent due to alcohol driving and the rest due to overtaking and traffic law violation.

Last year, 49 people were killed and 530 others injured in accidents over the Khmer New Year's holiday.

Road accident in Cambodia is the second largest danger after HIV/AIDS. 
In 2010, road accidents killed 1,709 people in Cambodia. 

Also offiziell 17% mehr Tote als im letzten Jahr, dafür etwas weniger Verletzte bei "211" Unfällen.

• 33% der Unfälle wegen zu schnellem Fahren.
• 26% wegen rücksichtslosem Fahren.
• 20% wegen Alkohol am Steuer.
• Der "Rest" diverse Gründe... 

Abschließend noch die Bilanz von Thailand und noch ein kleiner Vergleich mit Thailand. 
Thailand hat ziemlich genau 5-mal mehr Einwohner als Kambodscha und vermutlich auch eine auf die Einwohner bezogene massiv höhere Dichte an Fahrzeugen. 
Womit man also sagen "muss", dass der Straßenverkehr in Kambodscha "hochgerechnet", jetzt schon deutlich gefährlicher ist, als "der" in Thailand.
