Default What do you think causes most 'accidents'?

My answer is Aggressive drivers'.

and Tailgaters.

People not paying attention in general.

What do you think ?

IMHO the one cause of most every accident on the road can be traced back to someone not paying attention.

Yep! My few ( too many ) close calls were for that very reason.

That just isn't right - in any shape or form...

Funny - yes - well, at least until it happens to you, anyway. :lol:

Seriously, though, lack of concentration would be at the top of the list, followed by going too fast for road conditions, be it rain, snow, fog, sunset/sunrise in your eyes, etc.

followed by going too fast for road conditions,
To my way of thinking that would still fall into not paying attention.

In a way, yes. However, you see a lot of drivers that think "Aww hell - my SUV is four-wheel drive. There's only a little ice on the road. Why do I need to go less than the 70mph speed limit, even though everyone else is doing 35mph."

Oh I can easily see where someone would or could say driving too fast for conditions is a separate cause for accidents.

Many vehicles often suffer from type 1 AIDS (AZZ in Drivers Seat) which often leads to Type 2 AIDS (AZZ In Ditch Syndrome). :wink: :lol:
