Road traffic accident during Chinese New year decrease in 2009

According to report from department of order, Ministry of interior showed that the number of traffic accident during Chinese New Year in 2009 decreased if compare to year 2008.

Number of fatality decrease from 46 persons in 2008 to 31 persons in 2009.
Generally, number of road traffic accident (RTA) rapidly increase during National Holiday or any celebrations if compare to normal day.

Why number of RTA increase in National Holiday?
This question is easy to understand if we take a few minute on the road and pay attention to the traffic flow on the road. During National holiday number of vehicles on the road are much more than normal day, number of long distant travelers more and on these day number of people drinking alcohol and driving are more than proper day.
One other reason of RTA is drive over speeding or driving with in appropriate speed.
