N2 - Civilian and military motor vehicle crashes (MVC) involving injuries in Israel were compared for the period 1978-1982. Military rates far exceeded civilian rates for single, two-vehicle and vehicle-pedestrian crashes, even when increased military exposure was taken into account. Primary risk factors were felt to be the youth and low socioeconomic status of the Israeli military driver, factors common to military drivers in all armies. Options for reducing MVCs and injuries include use of older male drivers and female drivers, a buddy system, compulsory rest stops, adequate drinking water in military vehicles, increased use of bus transportation, restriction of jeep use, installation of passive safety devices for drivers and passengers, and raising traffic law enforcement to deterrence levels.
