The article presented analyses situations and propositions of chosen actions. Their effects will be decreases of chances in which collisions and accidents will occur. Proposed equipment of vehicles, which are currently being exploited, are additional mirrors for lowering the area of so called "blind spots". The necessity of installing additional reverse lights, in the area of rearview mirror, in busses as well as in trucks has been discussed and assessed. Another issue is the necessity to introduce appropriate regulations about back rear bumpers. It will obligate producers and users of vehicles to install them (especially in self-unloading vehicles). Doing so will also reduce the weightiness of accidents with participation of other cars. Analyzed and discussed propositions in the article are actions directed towards reducing number of collisions and accidents in developing road transport. Aspiration after achieving safety for traffic participants should be most important while executing road transport needs. It is essential to allow the driver to observe hitherto unseen areas while backing up by installing additional devices of indirect visibility, such as camera at the back of the vehicle or display in the cabin. Without radical decisions it is impossible to limit accidents (especially fatal), which are originating in traffic. Retrofitting means of road transport, we reduce their susceptibility to accidents and collisions.
