Dangerous driving by drivers is one of the major causes of road traffic accidents all over the world. There are several factors responsible for dangerous driving by drivers. These include:
The physical condition of the driver: Driver with health problems is a potential cause of road traffic accident. For example, it is not advisable for an epileptic patient to drive, but if he/she does not take his/her drug regularly and hits the road it can lead to road accidents. Other health problems like poor eyesight, poor hearing, etc, can also lead to dangerous driving which may lead to road traffic accident.
Having little knowledge of the vehicle: A good driver should have basic knowledge of some vital parts of a vehicle. This will help the driver in times of emergency. This include having basic knowledge of the steering, brake, accelerators, etc, which of course varies from vehicle to vehicle. Failure of the driver to know this intricate parts of the vehicle can cause dangerous driving.
Having little knowledge of road traffic regulations and traffic conditions: Another cause of road traffic accident is failure on the part of some drivers to have basic understanding for road traffic regulations and traffic conditions. For example, a driver with little or no knowledge for road signs is a potential dangerous driver and he/she is not fit drive.
Non consideration for other road users: Dangerous driving can be caused by drivers who have little or no consideration for other road users. Drivers are not the only people that make use of the roads, there are others who also make use of the roads. Some of them include, cyclist, pedestrians, school children, etc. So, a driver who do not consider other road users will definitely drive dangerously.
Driving too close to the vehicle ahead: A driver is expected to give resonable distance between the vehicle he/she is driving and the vehicle ahead. Driving too close to the vehicle ahead is a sign the driver is driving dangerously.
Driving too fast: Driving fast is a sign the driver is driving dangerously. Most drivers drive fast probably because they are in a hurry or just for the fun.
Underestimating accidents: Some drivers tends to underestimate the power of accidents probably because some of them have not experience accidents before. Funny enough, some drivers exempt themselfves from accidents and blame drivers who ad accidents on negligence or inexperience on their part. But, they forget that accident can happen to anyone.
