Road accidents causes and consequences and solutions
Road accidents
A road accident is an accident occurring on the road network
between a rolling vehicle (car, motorcycle, bicycle, etc.) and any other thing
or person and which causes human injury and / or material damage. Many factors
contribute to collision risks such as vehicle type, speed of movement, road
environment, driver experience, but also behavior and physical condition.
Causes of road accidents:
• Aggressiveness on the roads
• Alcohol
Alcohol and driving do not mix well. Even in small doses, alcohol
slows reflexes and increases the risk of an accident.
• Distracted and careless driving
Distracted driving and carelessness: an underestimated danger and
responsible for one in four accidents!
•
Drug addicts
The drugs are all
incompatible with driving, especially if they are mixed with alcohol, drugs or
other substances.
• Tired
Fatigue or drowsiness at the wheel decreases driving ability and
may be the cause of an accident.
• Speed
Inadequate speed is one of the leading causes of fatal accidents in
Switzerland. Unsuitable speed does not necessarily mean excessive speed, but
speed unsuitable for traffic conditions.
Consequences of accidents:
We all know that road accidents are sometimes fatal, some people
die and others have lifelong consequences. Like the physical and / or mental
handicap. But in recent years we have noticed that the number of deaths is
decreasing in 2008. It has suffered a decrease of 2% compared to 2007 that is
to say 4615 deaths against 4709 in 2007. We thus note that the number of deaths
decreases as well as the number of injuries but the severity of the accidents
increases.
Road accidents are very often responsible for disabilities such as
paraplegia, quadriplegia, paralysis, amputation that make these people
dependent. But there are also mental handicaps such as incoherence in his
remarks, permanent agitation, neurological damage, ...
These people can not live alone, they must depend on someone
permanently.
We can also see that men are more concerned by road accidents than
women, ie 29 women against 81 men per million victims, these accidents will
leave them heavy handicaps for the rest of their lives. But it is the young
people who are the most affected and will have the health, family, economic and
social consequences that will be maximum.
Solutions:
1. No drunk driving.
2. No risky behavior (and punishable by law) when driving: pick up
your phone, read, eat, drink or smoke while driving.
3. Service your vehicle regularly. Observe the manufacturer's
maintenance recommendations and pay particular attention to the condition of
the tires on your vehicle (wear, inflation, etc.)
4. Do not enter the vicious circle of driving aggression. It is
sometimes difficult but it is always better to ignore the aggressiveness of
other drivers and to refrain from any bidding, whatever the circumstances. In
case of obvious abuse, you can always notify the police.
5. Respect the minimum safety distances, especially on the
motorway, using the markings specifically provided for this purpose on the
right of the road.
6. Strive to maintain a constant speed, without slowdowns or permanent
accelerations. This will allow you to reduce fuel consumption.
7. Check your mirrors before driving and keep an eye on them at all
times.
