With more than 100 fatalities every day, auto accidents continue to rank among the top causes of death in the US. The risk of accidents is significantly influenced by age and gender. when older drivers may react more slowly, younger drivers frequently lack experience, which can result in poor decision-making when driving. Male drivers are also statistically more inclined to drive recklessly, which raises the possibility of serious collisions. Conditions and time are also important. Accidents are more common while driving at night or in bad weather because these conditions impair vision and road traction.
Your car's safety features may also have an impact. In the event of an accident, older vehicles without contemporary safety features like airbags and sophisticated braking systems could not offer enough protection.
Texting or using a phone while driving is a major cause of collisions and was responsible for over 3,300 fatalities in 2022. Another significant element that led to almost 12,000 fatalities in a single year was speeding. In 2022, impaired driving—especially alcohol-related driving—was responsible for nearly 13,500 fatalities, or 37 deaths every day on average.
