A motor vehicle accident (MVA) is any accident occurring on a road between one or more motor vehicles, including cars, motorcycles, scooters, trucks, buses or pedestrians on public roads. (Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, 1998). Road crashes are a major health problem in Australia, being a leading cause of death and injury (Donovan, Fielder, Ouschan, & Ewing, 2011). Even if the number of accidents has decreased considerably over the years, accident victims remain a major issue in today's society (Ramage-Morin, 2008). Mortality and injury rates from MVA depend on geographic region, with different states having different MVA rates. Additionally, accidents have a major impact on the individual, with a high percentage developing acute stress disorder (ASD) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as a result of the accident (Harvey, 1998). They also have an impact on the economy and therefore on society, with the cost of AMIs amounting to approximately seventeen billion dollars per year in 2003 (Connelly & Supangan, 2006). Risk factors for accidental crashes are determined by driver behavior, such as speed and alcohol/drugs. Social factors also play a role, including age and gender. The final contributing risk factors are environmental, which include time and location. Age is one of the main risk factors for accidental accidents, and strategies have been implemented to control this phenomenon and reduce the risk of age-associated accidents. Firstly, the scale of accidental accidents in Australia has been significantly reduced, with the number of accidents decreasing each year. per year. However, this does not make this issue insignificant, as it remains a major problem. They are the second leading cause of death from external damage (Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, ...... middle of article......
