Why do you think car accidents happen?



    




Alex
Because we fear that it will happen, so we buy car insurance and that plants a seed in our mind that we can survive an accident and then we have the accident sooner or later.

Stupidity and neglect.


Back For Round 2
because people dont pay enough attention.


glamorousx34
I think they happen because people don't pay attention when they are driving. They could be talking on their cell phones or something else distracting them. Also maybe they are driving while under the influence of alcohol or another drug.

Population control. The highway is the only place left where natural selection is still at work on the human race.


Davage
Human errors. Too comfortable in their cars to pay attention or too uninterested in what a car is in detail to know how to use it well. Basically stick "too" in front of any state of being and you got it. : tired, angry, careless, drunk, etc

People are talking on cell phones, basically plain old distraction; reckless driving; driving too fast.

People talking on cell phones


CrAzY lOl GiRl
because some people are careless and stupid


Justin
Because so many people are talking on cell phones nowadays while driving. Not only that, but people are also starting to TEXT and drive, which is a hell of a lot more dangerous. Also, some people are very stupid and don't look both ways, don't pay attention to road signs, don't use their blinkers, etc.

lTwo objects can not be in the same space at the same time.
That is what makes it an accident. People wil try but it will never work.

jstrmbill
because first of all, 99% of crashes are not accidents, they are the fault of a driver...that is not an accident, that is careless...

because people aren't paying attention or are messing around


Bobberts
Because people are sleep deprived and don't pay enough attention to the "here and now", in this case the road


Tampa Biz
Stupid, and people not following the law (ie: running the red light, drinking drunk, and just general distractions talking on the cell phone, texting, eating, etc)


B/X Boi
because people distract themselves instead of focusing on whats in front of them. People shave, talk on the phone, read the newspaper, and even clip their toenails while driving. If the concentrated on the road, their wouldn't be such serious and deadly accidents there are on highways.

Most of the time it's because the driver is distracted by one or more of the following:
1. Talking on a cell phone.
2. Changing radio stations.
3. Thinking about his/her problems in life.
4. Taking eyes off road to light a cigarette.
5. There are problems with the brakes, steering column or something else.


B68
People need to be more courteous and not use their cars as weapons. They also need to lose the distracting cell fones and text messaging. Stop trying to race, and "get even" with people, and to obey traffic laws accordingly. Stop driving drunk, START USING F***ING TURN SIGNALS, and don't eat a Big Mac with one hand and sip a coke with another while smoking a cigarette...

People get distracted easily. Taking the eyes off of the road for a second is dangerous. People have no patience. Road rage. Alcohol. Improper experience. Cars can't be trusted. Cell phones. People don't check their blind spot. The list goes on and on, but it all boils down to the fact that people drive cars and nobody is perfect.
