the greater the speed the greater the impact (more serious situation of the person impacted).
Road accidents at high speed are worse because the force of impact is greater, causing more severe damage to vehicles and occupants. High-speed accidents also reduce the time available for drivers to react and take evasive actions, increasing the likelihood of a collision. The higher speed can lead to more violent crashes and a higher chance of fatalities or serious injuries.
Several things cause accidents on the road. These are in no particular order: Too much speed, inattention, fatigue/dozing, alcohol/drugs, telephones and other distractions, lack of knowledge, lack of adequate training, not understanding what happens to the road surface under different kinds of conditions (hydroplaning, black ice, etc) lack of courtesy (nice way of saying 'road rage') poor planning leading to a perceived need for haste, inadequate vehicle maintenance... the list could go on.AnswerThe Number 1 cause: Inattention, Number 2 cause: Impairment, Number 7 cuase: Speed.
