There are also a number of
non-driver related causes of car accidents. The physical condition of the
roadway can play a significant role in causing a car accident. If a road is
improperly maintained, that may make it difficult to maintain traction or to
stop in time for a hazard. The same holds true for weather conditions. Moisture
-- whether from rain or snow -- can make a roadway slippery, again affecting
driving conditions. Weather can also impair visibility when conditions include
fog, rain, or snow. The mechanical performance of your car can also play a role
in the cause of accidents. A failure to properly maintain the brake system or
tires may impede your ability to stop a car in advance of a hazard. Other
mechanical issues may reduce your ability to steer clear of any hazard you
encounter on the roadway Every year auto accidents results in hundreds
of thousands of injuries and nearly 35,000 deaths in the United States. In
facts traffic collisions are the leading cause of preventable deaths in our
country. Thus it is important to have an understanding as to the leading
factors contributing to car accidents.
