According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, almost 80% of crashes and 65% of near-crashes involve driver inattention in the 3 seconds prior to the collision or near-collision. Some mistakes, however, are more likely to actually cause collisions, while others will get you mere dirty looks from other drivers. Speeding is by far the driver mistake that will most likely result in an accident. Other driver mistakes likely to result in crashes include bad merging, improper turns and drifting out of lane. Another mistake, driving while fatigued, is considered just as dangerous as driving while intoxicated by some experts. Last, but certainly not least, is driving while distracted. Many distractions, including using cell phones, eating food, applying makeup and even fiddling with the car stereo are dangerous, and drivers must refrain from them while behind the wheel. Although no one is a perfect driver, avoiding these commonly-made, yet preventable mistakes, will decrease your chances of causing an auto accident.
