03:01So, each has their own bonding, their own drinks, their own preparations,

04:35The number of road accidents this year is higher than in 2023.
04:40That's why the DOH reminds drivers, especially those who haven't finished their parties,
04:44to take enough rest and not to drink.
04:48Saksi, by Niko Wahe.
04:54496.
04:55That's how many road traffic incidents
04:57that the Department of Health has reported since December 22 until this morning
05:01in the 8 pilot sites that they are monitoring nationwide.
05:04At that time, Christmas parties and drinking parties are held side by side.
05:08According to the DOH, Region 2 is leading in their data,
05:12followed by Region 7, Region 11,
05:15NCR 4, and Region 1 5.
05:1833 percent said that the number of road accidents this year is higher
05:21than only 331 in 2023.
05:24That's why we call it road traffic injuries or road crashes.
05:29We don't want to call it an accident because an accident is inevitable.
05:35Road traffic injuries can be avoided if we wear helmets,
05:41if we wear seatbelts, if we follow the traffic rules,
05:45and if we are cool on the road.
05:4770 percent of the cases are male victims,
05:50most of them are 20 to 24 years old.
05:54427 of the victims did not wear safety accessories
05:58such as helmets or seatbelts in their vehicles.
06:01The injuries or the types of injuries that were reported in our cases are
06:06in descending order, abrasion, contusion, open wound,
06:11closed fracture, avulsion, and open fracture.
06:15356 or 72 percent of the total number of cases are those involving riders or motorcycles.
06:22Only 10 of them wore helmets.
06:256 out of 496 died and 4 of them were riding motorcycles.
06:30DOH also released a data that 83 of the road traffic incidents are those who drank alcohol.
06:36DOH reminds that the new year is safe and if you are going out,
06:42make sure that you are in the right condition to drive and drive your vehicle.
06:46Don't drink alcohol and rest for 6 to 8 hours
06:51so that you won't get drowsy on the road.
06:55And when we go out, our vehicles should be in the right condition
07:00so that this is not what is often said that there is no penalty or any other reasons.
