DECREASING CAR ACCIDENTS

In the recent decades, the rate of car accidents has increased at an alarming rate. Many people have lost
their lives while others injured due to avoidable road accidents. Research study shows that every year,
about two million people in the world lose their lives through road accidents. Individuals and firms have
incurred huge losses through questionable road accidents. However, despite innovative campaigns to
minimize if not to eliminate car accidents, cases of car crash are often reported. The big question has
remained, what are the causes of these accidents, and what should be done to curb this menace.

CAUSE OF CAR ACCIDENTS

According to statistics, most of these accidents happen as a result of careless driving or rash. Sometimes
especially drivers tend to be in rash, and therefore in most cases engage careless driving which
eventually results to accident. Further, road accidents occur due to drug drivers. Driving under influence
is one of the leading cause fatal car accidents. Driving under influence of drugs increases the risk of the
driver been involved in an accident. However, this can be avoided if proper measures are implemented
and strictly enforced. Nevertheless, during bad weather such as winter seasons, when most of time
visibility is low and most of roads are slippery, car accidents are very prone.

CONTROL MEASURES TO CAR ACCIDENTS

The increased rate of car accident has led to development of various measures to curb the growing
menace. Most governments have enacted traffic rules and regulations which have led to drastic fall in car
accidents. However, most people tend to neglect traffic rules and thus proper measures should be
ensured to enforce these rules. For instance, most people do not like wearing seat beat. However, in
most nations, wearing seat belt has been made mandatory and thus has played a significant role in
reducing the rate of car accidents.

Defensive driving is among the most prominent and effective way of reducing car accidents. Through
defensive driving, the driver is able to determine the potential car crash and thus make him or her more
careful. This is very helpful in attempts to end or minimize car crashes. Defensive driving does not only
reduce car accidents but also reduce injuries and deaths due to car accidents.
Driving under influence is one of the leading cause fatal car accidents which should be deal with
effectively. Imposing severe disciplinary measures on drug drivers will discourage drivers from driving
under influence of drugs hence reduce the risks of car accidents.
