Over-speeding
Driving above speed limits drastically reduces vehicle control, increases stopping distance, and raises collision severity and fatality risk rates.
Behavioural causes and human errors contributing to road accidents.
Driving above speed limits drastically reduces vehicle control, increases stopping distance, and raises collision severity and fatality risk rates.
Unsafe overtaking and lane cutting force sudden maneuvers, surprising other drivers, causing head-on collisions, sideswipes, and multi-vehicle chain crashes frequently.
Alcohol or drug-impaired driving severely impairs judgment and reactions, increasing probability of crashes and the chance of fatalities and injuries.
Insufficient training and poor understanding of traffic rules lead to incorrect decisions, unsafe maneuvers, and higher accident occurrence rates daily.
Driver exhaustion from long hours reduces vigilance and reaction time, causing microsleeps, drifting lanes, and catastrophic high-speed collisions with fatalities.
Pedestrian negligence such as jaywalking, ignoring signals, or sudden road entry surprises drivers and frequently results in severe injuries nearby.
Failure to wear helmets, seat belts, or child restraints greatly increases injury severity and survival risk during vehicle collisions unnecessarily.
Vehicle-related causes that increase accident risk.
Excess passengers or cargo overload vehicle capacity, reduce stability, strain brakes, and significantly increase chances of tyre bursts or rollovers.
Road design, management, and usage issues contributing to accidents.
Illegal roadside parking blocks lanes, reduces visibility at intersections, forces sudden maneuvers, and creates frequent collision hotspots during peak hours.
Severe congestion increases risky lane changes, rear-end collisions, driver frustration, and delays emergency response to accidents and causes secondary crashes.
Weather, natural, and external conditions that affect road safety.
Dense fog or heavy rain dramatically reduces visibility and road friction, causing sudden braking, skidding, and catastrophic multi-vehicle pileups regularly.
Animals wandering onto roadways cause abrupt driver reactions, dangerous swerving or braking, and frequent collisions, especially at night on highways.
Rockfalls or landslides suddenly obstruct roads, crushing vehicles and causing high-speed impacts or pileups on mountain and hilly stretches frequently.
Extreme ambient temperatures elevate tyre pressure, weaken rubber, and increase likelihood of blowouts, causing sudden loss of control and accidents.
