What are some of the reasons for traffic accidents?
Most traffic accidents are caused by drivers behaving in a negligent, careless or reckless manner. Inattention leads to many accidents. There are many distractions surrounding the average driver — including eating, drinking and talking and texting on cell phones. Drivers also have their attention diverted by the numerous technological devices available in the modern vehicle, such as CD and DVD players, radios, navigation systems and even satellite televisions. Negligence or carelessness causes many drivers make improper turns, fail to obey traffic signals, speed, or operate their vehicles while tired, sick, or under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Accidents can also occur due to defective vehicles, defective parts, weather-related conditions, or dangerous road conditions.
