Car accidents can be influenced by a variety of factors, ranging from personal driving behaviour to factors outside our immediate control—such as poor road conditions and the behaviour of other drivers.
Research on the leading causes of motor vehicle crashes identify several common causes underlying the numerous crashes that occur across the country.
The most common causes of traffic accidents include:
- drug or alcohol impairment (driving under the influence)
- defective vehicle parts (e.g. brakes, steering, tires)
- distracted driving
- aggressive driving
- speeding
- traffic law violations
- poorly maintained roads
- malfunctioning traffic signals or worn signs
- texting while driving
