Car Accidents - Sometimes Drivers or the Cars Fault

Car accidents [1] occur due to many reasons. Car accidents [2] are
also called *road traffic accidents* RTAs. They may be due to the
negligence of the drivers or maybe the driver was too young or not
properly trained. Accidents [3] occur due to the public neglecting
traffic rules and regulations, at places of signals, using cell phones
while in traffic, teenage driving, unconditioned vehicles etc. Proper
lanes should be provided by every government, wide advertisement
banner free roads, fluorescent indicators throughout the roads medical
facility at proper distances to give first aid to the injured at
highways, obstacle free pathway etc. The government should check these
criterions regularly.

Unconditioned cars or after using few years cars are condemned at
regular period in most of the countries. This helps to avoid few types
of accidents [4]. Rear end collisions, head on collisions, car wrecks
and roll on collisions are some of the types. Rear end collisions are
of two types, both moving and one at rest and other moving. The second
one is whiplash and in that when a car is not in mobility i.e, at rest
and another car, which is moving, collides with the stationery one
into the rear part of it. The neck is in rest position and the persons
wearing of seat belt undergo injury around neck area also known as
whiplash. The neck is thrown forward when tied with a seat belt. This
is also caused because when a person suffers from a sudden jolt to
their head or body. The sudden jolting causes damages to the muscles,
soft tissues, ligaments in the neck and tendons.

Car wrecks happen due heavy truck collision. These occur due to
unlicenced drivers. The claiming person may get up to $400,000 to
$500,000 from an insurance company. These car *accidents* kill atleast
1.2 million people worldwide every year, 40 times of the killed will
be the injured ones each year. Roll over have become more common in
recent years, perhaps due to the increase in popularity of taller vans
and people carriers. Rollovers can often be fatal, especially if the
occupants are ejected because they were not wearing seat belts. When
the driver did not wear a seat belt 83% of ejections during rollovers
were fatal. When seat belts are worn only 25% are numbered. Rollovers
have contributed to more than 10,000 deaths for 1 year even though
they only account for about 3 % on overall car accidents [5].

Backup collisions happen when a driver reverses the car into an
object, person, or other car. Although most cars have facility in such
a way that rear view mirrors which are adequate for detecting vehicles
behind a car, they are inadequate facility for detecting small
children or objects close to the ground, which fall in the car's blind
spots.

Measures taken to avoid car accidents [6] are: -

1. The government must provide good roads, with as many safety
measures like speed breakers and traffic signs. There should be
traffic lights at all the important and dangerous crossings.

2. The car owner must ensure that he maintains his car in good
condition. Servicing the vehicle, having the right kind and size of
tires with proper air is a must too.

3. While driving on wet roads don't over speed and never let your car
fish tail.

4. Always follow the traffic rules and never jump signals or lanes.

5. Be a responsible citizen and don't drive under the influence of
alcohol.

6. While backing up in a crowded area always look through your rear
mirror and reverse slowly or else get your co driver to get down and
help you.

When the driver and car is good condition *car accidents* can be
avoided easily.
