How is it possible to avoid the vast majority of traffic accidents?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is based on the fundamental premise of road safety: accidents are not random events or bad luck; they are causal and, therefore, preventable. Statistically, the human factor is responsible for between 70% and 90% of crashes. This means that if the driver avoids the main risk factors (inappropriate speed, distractions like mobile phone use, alcohol/drug consumption, and fatigue), the root cause of the accident is eliminated. The options suggesting that accidents are 'inevitable' are incorrect and dangerous, as they promote a passive attitude towards driving.
