What are the causes of road accidents and there preventions?

[gemma]

Drunk driving is the most irrational reason.

[aimhigh]

I agree with Gemma. Normally the cause of road accident are drunk driving. Second over speeding, reckless imprudence driving and finally sometimes because the road is slippery.

Drunk driving is the most irrational reason.

Is the most irrational but not the only one... also inattention, excessive speed, fatigue, too much confidence in their ability to react in exceptional cases, etc.

"Serious accident resulting with death ...": so start almost all the news in the morning , afternoon or evening, in all logs being presented, at least two news, results from road accidents. In time we used with these events; the worst is that, although aware of the consequences of an accident, drivers continue to adopt the same attitude: excessive speed, fatigue, drinking and driving, inattention, failure to offer the priority in traffic and list may continue.

[M.Helen]

Some drivers are basing on experience, others on the control that they have on the car. A third category of drivers are the "brave", those who believe in destiny and who leave on the fate hands. Of all these, few are those who think and to those who may be involved in road accidents, without having some guilt. Those may be pedestrians to whom has not been given priority, although they were forced, or people who are with them in the car or even other drivers, more peaceful.

The severity of a road accidents is that rarely happens to be involved just one victim ... and if so, we must remember about him as a happy event of accidents. Apparently taken seriously, the problem of the increasing number of road accidents is still unresolved. The situation was presented in various forms. Soung already known the slogan " Stop traffic accidents", "Life takes precedence ", but how many road users take seriously these messages? Or how many drivers remembers that is such a message? Not too many, it seems! Proof are the road accidents, more and more frequent.

[M.Helen]

It is a certainty that issue of the driving license is not without a warning, specifically on violations of the rules of traffic. But, once seen with license in hand, drivers seem to forget everything they learned. Remember, your life is in danger if you are in a hurry to reach a particular place, remember that if not granting priority in traffic, you can destroy life, remember that you must answer in front the law for your actions, don't forget that in your hands stay own life and more, the life of friends or relatives accompanying them.

[M.Helen]

But, mostly, the regrets come after the fact. Only then realize, that no matter how in hurry are, life has, indeed, priority. In support of road users, it follows the development of intelligent vehicle projects, equipped with electronic stability control (against skidding) and automatic dialing system for emergency in case of accident. Unfortunately, the price of such equipment is quite high and not many are those who will allow it.

[M.Helen]

Technological solutions can be a help, but must be balanced the financial possibilities of the drivers and the prices of technological systems. Whether the approval or not of these projects, drivers and other road users should respect each other, take into account the rules of the road and understand that any traffic accident could cost them life.

[Terry]

There are many factors that contribute to road accidents:
1.High speed. Some drivers exceed speed limits,when they speed up they can lose control over their vehicles.
2.Alcohol and drugs.Drunk drivers risk their lives and the others as well.
3.Close proximity to other vehicles. To keep distance is very important.
4.Road rules violation.
So, drivers should be aware while driving.

[Lorry]

Besides drunk driving there are also fast driving. These type of persons who like the speed don't realize that they answer by the consequences of the accident, by the human lives. Our life is so short it is very stupid thing to throw it i an accident.

[Martin]

Road accident are increasing day by day and everyone is busy in their life and they are just trying to get an easy access everywhere. A reason is that almost all the vehicles are insured and the driver is aware that he is not at all liable for any compensation against the injured. It can be compensated by levying a portion of the burden on the part of the driver and the owner by the courts strictly.
