It's no secret that the "motorization" of the Russian population is gaining momentum every year, despite various taxes and duties of the Government for the operation of foreign cars. At the same time, the number of accidents is also increasing. The media is literally full of videos and photos with the short title "The most terrible accidents in Russia and in the world." What provokes them?
Driving alcoholics
The most banal drunkenness takes the first place. No matter how much propaganda is carried out in the media, and no matter how broken cars are put on the roadside, warning of the need to slow down, all these measures are just a drop in the ocean. Motorists in Russia and abroad continue to drink and drive, endangering both their lives and those around them. Experts point out that the worst accidents (about 40% of all accidents) are caused by drunk drivers. And this is despite stringent regulations both in the Russian Federation and in the United States. By the way, inIn Russia, this percentage is higher - 45-50%.
It's the phone's fault
Second place is occupied by the phone, in particular SMS-correspondence in the process of driving a car. Experts note that if in the case of a mobile phone, the probability of replenishing the collection with the video "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 as much as 35%. This means that you are focusing all your attention on the conversation and not on the fast-paced road.
Police officers both in Russia and in the US note that the use of any "Hi-teck" device while driving is the cause of 4-8 thousand various accidents in almost every country. The worst car accidents often happen because of the banal desire to send a emoji to your beloved without parking or 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 at home.
Schumacher driving
Third on our sad list is recklessness. It exists both in Russia (which Russian does not like fast driving) and in the USA. The most terrible accidents for this reason occur in 15% of cases, and the percentage of recklessness in the total number of fatal accidents reaches 33%. It is very sad that in Russia these figures are stillscarier and account for 20% and 38% respectively. Rounding out our list of reasons why the worst crashes happen is not wearing a seat belt. Of course, the fact that the driver did not think about his safety cannot provoke an accident. However, in the event of a collision, it is this negligence that leads to the saddest results. How many lives could be saved if the drivers were just wearing seat belts?! Research by international institutes of all kinds of crash tests shows that fatality for fastened drivers decreases by 2.5 times in the event of a frontal collision, a little less - by 2 times - in a side impact and 5 times - in a car rollover. Therefore, always buckle up and do not forget to follow the traffic rules. In this way, you will not only protect yourself in the event of an accident, but also save other road users.
