Top 5 Causes of Car Accidents
Car accidents can lead to numerous unwanted consequences that include permanent injury, high cost, damages to property and so on. When these serious consequences are well known to all people, why do they act oblivious to all these facts? This blog will highlight some of the most common causes of road accidents and may help you avoid getting into one.

1.Distracted Driving: Believe it or not, distracted driving takes the number one spot here. Anything on the road, outside or inside the car can divert the attention of a driver. Cell phones are a major distraction and it has led to so many accidents so far, more so than any other cause.

2.Speeding: A long ride on the road is a thrill when it’s mixed with speed, but a deadly one. So many young lives have been lost due to car accidents related to speeding. No matter how thrilling it sounds, speed kills.

3.Drunk Driving: Now that the holiday season is on, drunk driving may be on the rise. Drinking can cease or lower the ability to focus and function properly. Not only does it put the driver’s or the passenger’s life at great risk, but it puts the pedestrians’ lives at risk as well.

4.Weather: Severe climatic conditions can hamper your driving ability a lot. Heavy rains, snows and icy roads can create dangerous and slick surfaces for vehicles. Automobiles can spin out of control or skid while trying to put the brakes.

5.Inexperience: Young drivers are always eager to try out their driving skills even when they haven’t learned it all. When teen drivers hit the road, they don’t always know what to do and lack the defensive driving skills if they have to react to any situations.
