If there isnone thing that cause accident it would be the reckless attitudes of the drivers. In any case the accidents might happen due to unregulated laws on road that protects the drivers or riders.

consciousness and the impact of social life! try to imagine the 8 h of driving, but they are known or require more clearly 4 h to complete the work. an overload of stress and the mind of the soul. that is the worse in my country!

There are few basic things that are responsible for road accidents. Like
Over speeding
Lane Discipline
Traffic signal violation
Under age drivers

What you think except these things that are causing road accidents?

You may have observed that everyone is in hurry while on road. How many of you leave for for your work or college before time ? I think when someone is leaving for office/college at time then he/she would be in hurry that can also be a cause of accident. There is not even a single road where accident does not occur daily. Thousands of people die each year during these accidents. How can we reduce road accidents?
What are the main factors responsible for accidents in your country ? In my country mostly traffic signal violation.

Sme causes of road accidents are drunkness,  recklessness,  no street lights, unmaintain car,  lack of discipline,  bad attitude,  boastfulness. In fairness to oither drivers who are la abiding citizens and careful in drving,  they can still be involve in some accidents because of those careless drives.

The main cause of road accidents is because the riders themselves are not disciplined, many of them violate the traffic signs and many other drivers who make up their car or montor, therefore there are many accidents on the highway. If the rider obeys the traffic signs and do not force to drive a car or its montor while shaping, There will not be many accidents on the highway.

Road safety awareness campaigns in school and college students and involvement is necessary too. As long as people are not aware of traffic laws and pre education and precautionary measures are not taken properly there is little hope on accident prevention. Plus regular mechanical maintenance and checking  for safety certificate and norms must be complied with at least for old vehicles

You asked about the cause of road accidents, but I'm including things that cause accidents to become serious or fatal as well. The seatbelt does not reduce accidents, but it makes you something like 5 to 10 times more likely to survive.

Driving while drunk. Usually in a large vehicle that demolishes whatever it hits.

Lack of vehicle maintenance, such as rear tires with not enough tred left and hydroplaning.

Using electronic communication devices while driving and running red lights etc.

Parents who raise their children in accident free environments, so the children do not learn the value of safety.

People with small hatchback cars that get rear ended by tall vehicles which kills the people in the back even at fairly low speed. There is no safety rating done based on this situation.

Highways which only have grass but no barrier separating oncoming traffic.

People not wearing seatbelts. Something like 5% of people don't in some places and 25% - 50% of deaths are from those 5%.

Dangerous passing at high speeds. From a growing sense of entitlement and complete disregard to whether it is proper to do such a thing. Try driving slowly. People will try to pass you in a no passing zone because they it's their right to go fast even if it's dangerous and you pull to the right to let them go down the middle in between you and the uncoming car. Look at the Russian dashcam videos!

Attempting to swerve rather than slowing down to avoid a collision.

Swerving to avoid a stopped vehicle at the last moment resulting in the tali gating vehicles behind not seeing it until it's too late.

Following too closely with lane changes without being able to see what is ahead.

Following too closely resulting in multi vehile pile ups (if they didn't bring the whole highway down to 5MPH before that).

People merging in to highways acting like they have the right of way. Tailgaters on the highway, increased speeds on the highway, and short entry ramps have probably contributed to people drining like this. Tailgaters and people merging in will bring a whole higway down to stop and go traffic.

Large differences in vehicle sizes on the roads.

Driving the speed limit where conditions do not permit, such as ice and rain and night time driving.

Using road salt resulting in cars driving at full speed in the winter and then hitting patches of ice and snow that didn't get salted or plowed resulting in loss of control.

Lack of public transportation forcing people who don't want to drive or shouldn't drive to drive cars.

Police not enforcing the law when people do dangerous things at high speeds. A belief of political correctness means that people who do bad things are thought of as being discriminated against if they are punished for their actions.

Speed limits that are actually way to high for highways that are not physically divided.

I believe Japan doesn't have nearly as many  traffic problems because they enforce traffic rules over there. It's the opposite of a place like India.



Well said! If all of these things will put into consideration then there will be more likely 0% accident in the road. And over all, it Is the act of irresponsible why there are accident happening on the road. And they that drive safely become the victims of those reckless drivers and government.

other than the human factor that lacks compliance with safety regulations, factors from vehicles that do not qualify for example less-maintenance vehicles or old vehicles. can cause accidents

the main cause of road accidents is the lack of understanding of the driver about the rules of traffic signs, impatient drivers due to rush and violate traffic rules and the influence of drugs or alcohol. this is the cause of road accidents.

For me it will be on the driver's discipline.

Good defensive driver would be responsible to check for the basics, BLOWBAG before going into the road.

Keep himself undistracted and focused on the road.

He will follow traffic signs.

He will not get intoxicated with any substance that might affect his driving condition.

A well educated driver would do all these and he would know that driving is a privelege not a right.

There are accidents grouped into two categories:
- Those that are caused by incidences out of people's control. For example, a child running into the street and the driver having to swerve to avoid collision.

- Those that are caused by carelessness/intentionally. This has so many examples like over speeding, drunk driving and so on.

Some causes of road accident are over speeding, driving under alcohol liquor, violating the road signage or traffic signal, using a cellphone while driving and playing loud music and sometimes road problem.
To prevent this kind of accident we need to focus and follow the traffic law and self-discipline. Don't drive if you don't have enough sleep.

In our country ithere are two common causes of road accidents - the poor condition of the roads (potholes, ruts, etc.), as well as driver fatigue - especially truckers and bus drivers with an uncontrolled working day.

The major cause of accidents/ road safety are poor license screening issues and lack of public awareness. If the root or foundation is not firm, there goes the disaster waiting to occur. At firsthand, first screening is a must. Before permitting a person to have a freedom to drive in an open road, the government agencies must be sure that an individual is capable of driving safely and is aware of the rules and regulations on the road. They must focus on the roots of having a license in the first place.

Driving under the influence of alcohol,driving without safety gear and driving without sleep this I think is some cause of road accident.Discipline is the best way to prevent road accident.
