Common Causes Of Motor Vehicles Crashes

 As per the statistics by WHO, every year 1.35 millions people are killed because of vehicle crashes. Vehic
le crashes is the second most cause of death after heart diseases. It is the leading cause of death for the group of people aged 5 to 29. 

We always believe most common cause of crashes is Human Error. Human is other road users like pedestrians, cyclists, road side workers etc.

The other common causes of vehicle crashes are:

1. Rash Driving like driving over the speed limit, frequent lane changing, tailgating, horseplay.

2. Driving in Bad Weather Conditions like Rain, Fog, Sand Storms, Ice.

3. Jumping Red Lights knowingly or unknowing.

4. Distracted Drivers like Eating, Drinking, Listening music, using GPS, and major distraction is using mobile phone while driving. 

5. Driving under the influence of Medications, Drugs and Alcohol. These things reduce the peripheral vision, increase the reaction time, misjudgement of speed of other road users, increase the behaviour of taking risk.

6. Driver fitness like Fatigued, Stressed etc.
