Road Traffic Accident -

• Ways to avoid common accident causes

A road traffic accident can be a very unpleasant experience. The sad fact is that you are bound to experience at least one traffic accident in your lifetime. At least that’s what the numbers say. The good thing is that the big chances are that you’ll suffer minor if any injuries at all.

I will mention an obvious fact: respecting the basic rules of safe driving will drastically diminish your chances of going through an accident. If it’s that simple, it makes you wonder why many drivers don’t do that. Well, it may come as a surprise for you, but approximately 90% of all the accidents happen out of some sort of human error. In fact, by the year 2020, road accidents will have claimed the number one position of preventable death causes.

Although each accident situation is unique, there are certainly a few basic patterns that often enough lead to disaster. Read carefully what I am about to tell you next and try to avoid any of these situations. You may have heard someone say “Well, I’ve been driving for 40 years now and never have I been involved in an accident”? Some might say it’s a question of good luck. Yes, that may also be true, but only partially. It’s only safe to assume that those lucky people always tried to respect the common sense driving rules. Above is a sample of elderly wisdom we have right there. Now here are the most commonly encountered accident causes:

DISTRACTED DRIVERS

You should always have your focus on the road ahead. The amount of accidents that occur because of distractions are unbelievable. Do not talk on your mobile phone whilst driving, don't eating, don't try to pick up dropped objects. In the situation that you have your pet with you in the car, try not to groom him, even if it may seem irresistible.

IMPAIRED DRIVERS

Why should your or anybody else's life be in jeopardy because someone else couldn’t resist the temptation of alcohol or drugs? They can even be excluded from the accident category, that’s how preventable they are. Fact is one out of seven road deaths is caused by drivers who are driving under the influence of alcohol. That, worldwide, translates into hundreds of thousand of lives which could have been saved. ANNUALY.

SPEEDING

Driving above the speed limit is another lead cause for accidents. Every driver should know his/her speed limit, in which his/her brain is able to process the pieces of information it gets from the outside environment. Driving within speed limits can vary according to the outside conditions. For example, if it’s foggy outside, it’s only logical that you won’t afford to go with the speed that you’re going with when it’s clear. Or, in dense traffic, you won’t be able to go as fast as when you have a clear road ahead.

Other causes for accidents such as road conditions and road maintenance can not be controlled by the driver. If it rains, you will probably have a slippery road surface ahead of you. If it snows, even more so. Bad road maintenance makes the driver even more powerless, as road flaws like holes are very hard to observe especially at night.

These accident causes should not be taken lightly, you need to try your very best to avoid them considerably minimising your chances of going through a road traffic accident.
