Traffic safety studies and transportation authorities consistently indicate that approximately 90 percent of all motor vehicle collisions are caused by human error rather than mechanical failures or environmental hazards. Primary contributing factors include driver distraction (such as texting or smartphone use), speeding, fatigue, aggressive driving, failure to yield the right of way, impairment from alcohol or drugs, and misjudging traffic or weather conditions. Because human choices dictate most crashes, defensive driving habits remain the most effective defense against road accidents.
