USA car accident deaths decline, yet driving errors persist
July 15th, 2009
Fatal traffic accidents involving a car, auto, truck, bus, motorcycle or other vehicles are declining in America. That’s the good news. The bad news is that at least 37,000 Americans still die on the USA’s roads and highways each year, and almost all of them die due to persistent and, in some ways, increasing driver errors.
Indeed, drivers are the most vital variable in car wrecks and other traffic accidents — not weather, defective parts or road conditions. Though such reasons and many others do arise in wrecks, most collisions continue to be due to drivers who — quite simply — make a momentary but lasting mistake.
MRI, auto accident, big rig, car accident, motorcycle accident, traffic accident, truck accident
Across America, motorcycle drivers and riders are dying or are being seriously injured on a daily basis, and for most it’s not because they weren’t wearing helmets, because they were. Nor is it because they failed to obey traffic signals and rules of the road.
