Many factors contribute to this.
The roads are overcrowded these days. Thousands of cars, buses, motorcycles, cycles and other roads users compete for space. Everyone seems to be in a hurry. All it takes is a small mistake and an accident occurs. Also there are people who are reckless and inconsiderate. They take great risks and thus are a danger to themselves and others.
Then there are faulty vehicles, jaywalker road hogs. Drunks, pot holes, traffic jams, baa weather. stray animals and and other hazards. It is impossible to get rid of them entirely.
Road accidents will continue to occur. The only important thing to do is to take steps to reduce the risks. The more care we take the less ,the chances of accidents happen to us.
