The subject of this study is the impact of arresting car and motorcycle drivers and confiscating licenses in order to reduce accidental violations. Variables include: accidental violations (illegal speed, technical defects, dangerous driving, and failure to follow the law) the statistical group used for this study is all drivers that were arrested for violations on the Chalus – Tonekabon road in six months of year 89. Because of the low number of arrested vehicles and seized licenses, the statistical group is totally in order. To check the results of the data, the data were analyzed using the computer and statistical software SPSS. In the descriptive statistics section, the information was analyzed using frequency distribution tablets and graphs. Inferential statistics were analyzed by using the chi-square test and the relationship between variables was evaluated using the Pearson correlation coefficient. All assumptions used in this study were confirmed; so the overall conclusion is that violations are reduced by law enforcement and proper implementation of laws by traffic experts and police.

Vehicle recycling is an important process regarding its effect on environment, safety, accident fatalities and city decoration. In this research vehicle the recycling situation in Iran is compared with USA, European Union, and Japan. A questionnaire is carried out to study the opinions of experts and other people regarding vehicle recycling in Iran. Questionnaires were distributed between police agents and technicians in recycling centers and other people during the second half of 1390 to the second half of 1391 in 10 provinces in Iran. Their answers show that, in their opinion, recycling old vehicles has a positive effect on reducing air pollution, increasing safety, reducing accident fatalities, and reducing fuel consumption. These effects can help the economic situation of the country. Considering the fact that vehicle recycling is a new operation in Iran, it is necessary to pay attention to the lessons learned from other countries promoting the idea, in order to prepare suitable policies and regulations to expand the recycling industry in Iran.

Accidents due to driving and being in charge of engine-driven transportation devices have been the most common events in recent years. Policies related to secure disciplines acknowledge that regarding the social nature of man accidents caused by human mistakes are unavoidable. Therefore, in order to make up for human mistakes, it is necessary to pass some laws to secure other elements of driving accidents, such as road and transportation devices. Of course it seems that one of the most important rules effective for administrating justice to people who cause damage from driving accidents, and for decreasing these accidents, is note 3, matter 4 of driving collision rule approved in 1389. According to this note collision experts had to consider deficiencies in road and transportation devices in driving accidents. Also they should declare defects of related organizations in their reports. By doing so those organizations become responsible for their deficiencies. The approach of the new rule is to provide as much protection as possible for people who are harmed by such events. This study has considered changes of civil responsibility in driving collisions with emphasis on new rules for investigating driving violations. The aim of this research is to determine the basics of civil responsibility in driving collisions, especially collisions in which some factors (road and transportation devices) other than human are to blame. This research has been carried out using documentary and library sources to collect required data and information. It means by studying available and related sources, including books, articles, magazines, theses and scientific research, the required information has been compiled. The information and data have then been analyzed by using analytical and descriptive methods. The results indicated that in Iran the responsibility is based on defect theory and sometimes moves towards danger theory. Of course religious jurisprudence laws justify civil responsibility in traffic collisions. At the end some suggestions have been submitted for required new rules of investigation of driving violations after determining described basics.

This paper aims to examine the impact of dust storms on road accidents on Brtdad, a pivotal road from Minab to Jask. This study documents the use of secondary data synoptic stations between the years 1385 to 1391 in Minab city. Given the significant relationship between road accidents and dust storms, the investigation revealed that the highest number of road accidents in Minab city occurred in the spring, and April is often prone to dust storms as dry weather occurs sat this time of year. The number of accidents that occurred in the central province police forces were taken and analyzed. Given the significance of the difference between road accidents caused by a dust storm statistical analysis makes it possible to predict the occurrence of synoptic weather by using a NOAA Weather Map. Understand the characteristics enables predictions of climate events the day before they occur so this kind of traffic and road accidents can be prevented by informing the police so that road traffic management can occur, relief roads used and drivers warned.

Truck traffic is one of the most common causes of accidents and annually endangers the lives of many people in the world. Despite their small share of total vehicles on the streets of Tehran, they unfortunately cause a significant proportion of injuries, accidents and road deaths. As a result, Iran has one of the highest fatality rates for truck accidents. In this study, the main causes of accidents, truck accidents and deaths were identified and strategies devised to prevent and eliminate human, vehicle and road factors that cause truck accidents. A survey was conducted as part of the library research method and the cause of the accident was determined by looking at the direction of the vehicles involved. The results of the main causes of traffic accidents in Tehran, confirmed the hypotheses indicate that age, performance, driver skill, amount of time spent working, excessive drowsiness, fatigue and the function of the vehicles involved in the accident all contribute to causing an accident. Engineering and safety standards did not have any impact.

China is motorizing rapidly, with associated urban road development and extensive construction of motorways. Speeding accounts for about 10% of fatalities, which represents a large decrease from a peak of 17.2% in 2004. Speeding has been addressed at a national level through the introduction of laws and procedural requirements in 2004, in provinces either across all road types or on rural and urban roads. Typically, documentation of speed enforcement programmes has taken place when new technology (i.e. speed cameras) is introduced, and it is likely that many programmes have not been documented or widely reported. In particular, the national legislation of 2004 and its implementation were associated with a large reduction in fatalities attributed to speeding. In Guangdong Province, after using speed detection equipment, motorway fatalities due to speeding in 2005 decreased by 32.5% comparing with 2004. In Beijing, the number of traffic monitoring units which were used to photograph illegal traffic activities such as traffic light violations, speeding and using bus lanes illegally increased to 1958 by April 1, 2009, and in the future such automated enforcement will become the main means of enforcement, expected to account for 60% of all traffic enforcement in Beijing. This paper provides a brief overview of the speeding enforcement programmes in China which have been documented and their successes.
