What do you think are the common causes of accidents?

1. Inattention
2. Too Much Attention to Too Little
3. Not Enough Time
4. Not Enough Space
5. Not Allowing for the Mistakes of Other Drivers

I think the biggest contributing factor to accidents is that the majority of people aren't completely comfortable in their cars. Sure they may feel fine and not be afraid of driving, but if you don't have complete confidence in your machine and your ability to control your machine, accidents will happen.

I drive like a madman and have never hit another vehicle in my life. *knock on wood

I would have to say inexperience given the young people get into accidents often.

Good Luck...

Not looking anywhere except where THEY are going.

Cell phones.

Running mouth faster than engine.

Lane changes without regard for anyone occupying other lanes.

Of course you think you can drive while listening to the radio, talking on your cell phone and eating, with kids and pets in the back seat. Who doesnâ€™t?

Every single person who had an accident from being distracted thought he or she could handle such â€œmulti-tasking,â€ right?

So just how big a distraction are distractions? Last year, only 4,300 accidents were caused by the major distractions. Oh, thatâ€™s 4300 a day.

Otherwise known as 3 a minute around the clock, or, one quarter of all auto accidents, or 1.5 million a year.

(Technically, almost all accidents are caused by someone â€œbeing distracted,â€ but weâ€™ll settle for a quarter due to specific, known distractions.)

I would say the most common is inattentive driving ,not paying attention to the traffic or the road conditions kind of like talking on the cellphone your not concentrating on the road and what your suppose to be doing

Stupidity is the short answer.

Tailgateing and cell phones.

Probably not looking around correctly, misjudging another cars distance/speed, and speeding yourself.

An accident can happen to any person at any time. You could be sober or intoxicated, alert or distracted.
