Unfortunately, road accidents have been for as long as the automobile has existed. Countless lives have been lost, and many more have been permanently disabled as a result of traffic accidents. Road accidents have a variety of causes, all of which must be addressed. Knowing the most common causes of car accidents will help us drive more cautiously.
Driving While Distracted
Distracted driving is one of the leading causes of car accidents. The brain, contrary to popular belief, is incapable of focusing on more than one task at a time.
This means that whether a motorist is texting, chatting on the phone, grooming, reading, or even eating while driving, the brain is switching between tasks and is unable to focus on the road ahead.
Speeding
We’ve all had drivers blast past us on the highway, even while we were travelling faster than the posted speed limit. It is not uncommon for drivers to exceed the posted speed limit. Keep in mind that your reaction time will be slower the quicker you drive.
If you need to avoid an accident while driving beyond 130 kilometers per hour, the chances are that the collision will not be avoided at all.
Drunk Driving
Every day, approximately 29 people die as a result of drunk driving. However, as a result of recent educational efforts, the number of deaths connected to drunk driving has decreased.
Running Stop Signs And Red Lights
Approximately 40% of car accidents happen at intersections, and the most common reason is running a red light or failing to stop at a stop sign.
It’s not worth risking harming or even killing yourself or others to skip the one to two minute (or less) delay.
Reckless Driving
Reckless driving includes things like changing lanes too quickly, blatantly disrespecting the safety and/or property of others, and purposefully failing to follow safety precautions.
Aggressive Driving
Aggressive driving includes any combination of traffic offenses that endanger other drivers or property, including speeding.
Fatigue
Sleepiness, drowsiness, or weariness can impede a driver’s ability to respond, react, or interpret driving circumstances competently.
