Generally speaking, are road traffic accidents considered preventable?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Yes, the correct answer is that most are predictable and can be avoided. It is often mistakenly thought that accidents are chance events or due to 'bad luck', but statistics show that between 70% and 90% of crashes are due to the human factor. Since they are mainly caused by driver errors (speeding, distractions, alcohol, fatigue) or violations, eliminating these risky behaviors prevents the accident. Although road conditions and the vehicle play a role, driver behavior is the most determining factor.
