Drivers and motorcyclists should consider brushing up on your skills, reduce the number of Scottish road accidents caused by driver error, has a security group said.

The Royal Society for the prevention of accidents (RoSPA) said that the country driver refresher training, could benefit the most often cited factors in the last Scottish Government improperly looking crash numbers driver or lose control of vehicle included.

The accidents for the police one or more factors was recorded, drivers or drivers that look incorrectly cited in 28% 19%, a driver to lose control for fatal accidents involved 36% loss of control, and 22% not properly scan a driver.

Other important factors include a driver not correctly assess the other user's road speed or path, in a hurry or careless or reckless driving.

However, comes the charity's call against a decline in the Scottish Verkehrstoten.Die figures show that died in 2008, 270 people in Scottish roads - 11 less than in the previous year, and an all-time low for the country.

In addition the Government says its road mortality (53 per million people) is the ninth lowest of the 39 countries for the comparative figures were available.

Kathleen Braidwood, RoSPA road safety officer for Scotland, said that the numbers on a need for lifelong learning, with "willingness have with new technology and changing road conditions and [thinking] on the way stop we drive and drive".

"The only formal driver or driver is training to do most of us in preparation for our learners tests", she added.

"But we can pick up all bad habits over time and is an independent assessment of our skills or some additional training, perhaps leading advanced test, why is a good investment."
