- Poland has one of the highest fatal accidents and victims indicators in European Union. In 2010, there were 38 832 road accidents. 3907 people were killed and 48 952 were injured. It is assumed that road accidents are a cost of the growth of motorise and transport. Since year 2000, there were about 14 millions registered vehicles in Poland. Today there are more than 22 millions. Road safety system should be aimed at decreasing the number of the road accidents victims and assisting the victims. In the recent years, there has been a change in the approach to the programs on the social prevention. It has been stressed out that, the programs based on the intuition of their creators and operators, adapted at will from other groups, or developed for other problems and being treated as universal ones, cannot be effective, and on the contrary, can bring about the results opposite to the intended. This is, why the problems of constructing, running and evaluating the preventive programs, have become a subject of the scientific interest. Interdisciplinary analyses led to conclusions that road traffic safety consists of many different factors that influence road safety. In this system, prevention works in two ways. It can not only help to eliminate or reduce the risk factors but it can also strengthen the protective factors. Among them, the most important are human factors. Driver can cause the risk but also by changing and adapting his driving style to the road conditions he can avoid traffic accidents. In each population, including the population of road traffic participants, there are people under various degrees of danger and susceptible to the risk factors.
