The most common form of road accidents within the scope of pupil accident insurance, by a wide margin, are bicycle accidents.

Schoolchildren suffer further accidents in particular as drivers or passengers of passenger cars, as pedestrians and during the use of powered two-wheelers.
-
The great majority of road accidents occurring in the area of non-private transport involve the transport of schoolchildren by means of school buses.

The comparatively high number of "other road accidents" is notable. This category of road accidents primarily includes road accidents occurring during excursions or relating to attendance of rural boarding schools.

By far the largest share of fatal pupil accidents occurs during travel to and from school which is associated with traffic on public roads and areas.
