One is speed. People tend to drive too fast, and the faster you go, the less control you have of the vehicle. So speed is the primary cause of car accidents. Unsafe lane changes would be another cause of car accidents and one of the most common causes of collisions right now is automobile distractions. Inside the car, outside the car. We're all paying attention to things going on outside the car which you should do as a defensive driver, but people have actually caused car accidents, looking at other car accidents. And while they're doing that, they're also talking on the cell phone, adjusting the radio and drinking from their sipper cup.
