What Are the Main Causes of Car Accidents?

Car accidents have many contributing factors, most of which involve driver error. Common causes include:

• Speeding: In 2020, traffic crashes that involved speeding killed 11,258 people, as stated by NHTSA. Speeding is one of the leading causes of death in this country.
• Impaired driving: Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs puts everyone on the road at risk. Every day, 32 people in the U.S. die in drunk-driving crashes, according to NHTSA.
• Distracted driving: Any activity that diverts attention away from driving is distracted driving. In 2020, more than 3,000 people were killed in distracted driving accidents, as reported by NHTSA.
• Fatigued driving: Drowsiness affects a driver’s reaction time, awareness of hazards, and ability to sustain attention. Fatigued drivers are three times more likely to be involved in a car accident, according to the National Safety Council (NSC).
• Aggressive driving: This can be defined as a combination of moving traffic offenses that endanger other people or property. Aggressive drivers may speed excessively, change lanes abruptly and unsafely, cut other drivers off, follow too closely, fail to yield the right-of-way, and run through red lights and stop signs.
