Causes of car accident

Many causes of car accident collisions are due to:

• drunk driving
• drowsiness
• negligence
• distractions
• cell phone misuse
• aggressive driving
• poor road conditions
• mechanical failure
• speeding

One major car accident injury causing distraction from above is misuse of cell phones. Research studies show that the number of cell phone subscribers has grown from 94 million in the year 2000 to about 130 million today. It is therefore not hard to imagine how many of them use their cell phone while driving. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that 85 percent of these cell phone subscribers talk on the phone while they are operating a car. It has also been estimated that 6 percent of automobile accidents per year are caused by drivers talking on their cell phone. This means that a total of 2,600 people will die in cell-phone related car accidents this year.
