Summary I

• Injury incidences are particularly high in the
  case of bicycle-related injuries among 10-14
  year-olds and injuries as motor-vehicle driver
  among the 15-19 year-olds
• Road-traffic-injury risks are higher among boys
  than girls most remarkably in the case of bicycle
  and MV driver injuries

• Socio-economic patterning in road-traffic
  injuries is negligible in early childhood
• Socio-economic differences increase with
  increasing age
• They also increase when youth come into contact
  with motorized vehicles
