Results: The prevalence of 19-45 age group cases represented more than 50% of all patients, with a high significance (p<0.05), and men were involved more frequently (69.69%) than women (30.31%); most of the patients were injured while driving an automobile; 6 PM was the "rush" hour (6.4%), Monday was the "black" week day (16.02% of total cases), September the "harvest" time (12.7%), and Summer the "hottest" season (48.49%). Conclusions: The "B plan" is imperative to be implemented in Romania, including better roads, better vehicles, better legislation, and better teens' education, in order to avoid road traffic accidents.
