In 2024, almost 850 traffic accidents were registered at that time, and the amount of damage exceeded 900 thousand euros. The later weeks of September are calmer: both the number of accidents and the amount of damage are steadily decreasing.

Ignorance of the rules also contributes to this. BTA experts have recorded situations when drivers stop at newly regulated intersections even when the green signal allows them to proceed, thus unnecessarily stopping traffic. Gjensidige statistics confirm that in early September, accidents in Vilnius and Kaunas increased by about 20 percent, and a large part of them occur at intersections and roundabouts, when cars do not have time to stop in time.<\/span><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-991315e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"991315e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Psychology behind the wheel: emotions and attention<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c3f6218 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c3f6218\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Laura \u0160eibokait\u0117, a VMU researcher who studies traffic psychology, reminds us that emotions are responsible for one of the most common causes of accidents \u2013 using a phone while driving. When you are absorbed in the screen, you lose track of time, and returning from the phone to full-fledged driving can take up to four seconds \u2013 a long time in traffic. In addition, anger and tension at the wheel are directly related to mistakes. If you feel that a conflict on the road is \u201cboiling\u201d, the safest strategy is to stop in a safe place, calm down and only then continue your journey.
