Recommendation

The Investigation Commission recommends that the Ministry of Transport and Communications develop an investigation system in Finland responsible for investigating all heavy traffic accidents, including driving-off-the-road incidents. The investigation could be temporary, yet long-term enough to expose driver errors and transport-related flaws as well as any possible vehicle characteristics that decrease traffic safety.
