The most terrible accidents have quite commonplace reasons

It's no secret that "motorization"the population of Russia is gaining momentum every year, despite the different taxes and duties of the Government on the exploitation of foreign cars. At the same time, the number of road accidents also increases. The media is literally full of videos and a photo with a short title "The most terrible accidents in Russia and in the world." What provokes them?

Driving Alcoholics

First place is the most banal drunkenness. Whatever propaganda is carried out in the media, and no matter how many cars are parked on the roadside, warning about the need to reduce speed, all these measures are just a drop in the bucket. Motorists in Russia and abroad continue to drink at the wheel, endangering their lives as well as those who are close to them. Experts note that the most terrible accidents (about 40% of all accidents) are due to the fault of drunken drivers. And this despite the strict standards both in the Russian Federation and in the United States. By the way, in Russia this percentage is higher - 45-50%.

It's all the fault of the phone

The second place is occupied by the phone, in particularSMS-correspondence in the process of driving a car. Experts point out that if in the case of a mobile phone the probability of replenishing the collection with the clip "The worst accident in Russia" increases by about 4 times, then typing SMS while driving increases this possibility by 6 times! And the reason for this is that "Hi-Teck mobile" reduces the reaction of the driver by about 20%, and SMS-correspondence already up to 35%. It turns out that you focus all your attention on the conversation, and not on the fast-changing road.

Police both in Russia and in the US note,that using while driving by any device "Hi-teck" is the reason in almost every country of 4-8 thousand various accidents. The most terrible car accidents often happen due to the banal desire to send a smile to your beloved, without parking and not even slowing down. Therefore, before you answer a phone call or write a message on the way, think about your loved ones, that they are waiting for you very much at home.

"Schumacher" at the wheel!

The third place in our sad list isfoolhardy. It is like in Russia (which Russian does not like fast driving), and in the US. The most terrible accidents for this reason occur in 15% of cases, and the percentage of hooliganism from the total number of fatal accidents reaches 33%. It is very sad that in Russia these figures are even worse and constitute 20% and 38% respectively. Closes our list of reasons for the most terrible accidents, the disregard of the seatbelt. Of course, the fact that the driver did not think about his safety can not provoke an accident. However, in the event of a collision, it is this negligence that leads to the most unfortunate results. How many lives could have been saved if the drivers had been simply strapped on ?! Studies of international institutions of all kinds of crash tests show that the fatalities for the fastened drivers are reduced by 2.5 times in the case of a frontal collision, slightly less - by 2 times - with a side impact and 5 times - with the vehicle overturned. So always fasten your seat belt and do not forget to follow the traffic rules. So you not only protect yourself in the event of an accident, but also save other road users.
