However, with the frequent use of vehicles, the number of deaths caused by the use of motor vehicles has remained high. According to the statistics of the Police Department of the Ministry of the Interior, the number of people killed in traffic accidents in Taiwan in the past years has remained at around 3,000, and the number of injured is around 200,000. For example, in the Republic of China in 1994, due to traffic accidents. The number of deaths and injuries was 2,894 _ and 200,009 respectively. On average, 8 people die every day due to traffic accidents. Analysis of the cause of the accident, more than 97% of the accidents caused by improper driving, and the type of accidents accounted for a large number of cases of chasing. These traffic accidents not only create personal and family burdens, but also consume socially limited medical resources and cause loss of national productivity.
