Common Causes of Car Accidents

Common Causes of Car Accidents

1. DRUNK DRIVING ACCIDENTS

Thirty Two people die per day om average due to drunk driving. However, there have been fewer drunk driving related deaths as a result of recent educational initiatives 

2. RECKLESS DRIVING

Raiding too fast in lanes, willfully ignoring other people’s property and/or safety, and deliberately disobeying traffic laws are just a few examples of reckless driving.

3. FATIGUE

Driving while tired, sleepy, or extremely exhausted can make it difficult for them to react, respond, or perceive situations on the road.

4. RUNNING RED LIGHTS AND STOP SIGNS

Running a red light or a stop sign is the cause of about 40% of auto accidents that happen at intersections. Avoiding the one to two minute (or less) delay is not worth the chance of hurting or maybe killing yourself or other people

5. DISTRACTED DRIVING

Distracted driving is one of the main causes of auto accidents. Contrary to common belief, the brain is not able to focus on multiple tasks at once. This implies that the brain is unable to continuously focus on what’s ahead when a driver is texting, chatting on the phone, grooming, reading, or even eating while operating a motor vehicle.

Common Causes of Car Accidents

WEATHER CONDITIONS

Rain, snow, or ice related slippery roadways impair tire traction, which lead to cars sliding off the road and colliding with other objects or cars. Weather related accidents may also be caused by fog, water levels, and wind speed.

VEHICLE DEFECTS

Automobiles are made up of hundreds and hundreds of parts that work together to keep them safe and functional. However, it is not unusual for them to malfunction and go haywire because they have so many pieces.
