Accidents or Collisions

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS), 33,808 deaths in the U.S. occurred due to car crashes in 2009.

Many people call them car "accidents", but really the correct term is "collisions" or "crashes". In a vehicle collision someone was acting in a way that caused the crash to happen which could have been prevented had they acted differently. If it could have been prevented it is NO accident.

The best driving tip is: learn how to prevent collisions!


6 Top Reasons For Crashes
According To NHTSA

1. Driver distraction
The biggest driver distraction, believe it or not is drivers onlooking at a collision site!

When I was training to be a driving instructor, my fellow trainee and I were driving on the freeway when we saw ambulances on both sides of the freeway at the same spot, in opposite directions!

It was clear someone had looked too long at the first crash site and caused another!

2. Driver fatigue
Be well rested when driving, especially starting a long drive.

3. Drunk driving
These are usually the most serious, often fatal collisions.

4. Speeding
It's better to arrive late than not at all!

5. Aggressive driving
Sometimes you need to be assertive as a driver, but not aggressive. The big difference is emotion.

6. Weather
Respect the road conditions in wet, windy and icy weather.

these reasons for collisions can be avoided or at least minimized.


Take The Privilege Of Driving Seriously.

If you don't, the tragic consequences will affect not only you, but many other people as well.

Take the time to learn and practice safe driving habits and techniques!

I sincerely hope the driving tips I discuss here will help drivers avoid any collisions while driving.
