The domino theory of car accidents
In trying to understand why accidents happen and how they can be avoided, it's important to consider that many accidents have multiple causes. It's not always one thing that goes wrong. Instead, it's a series of things.
Distraction massively increases accident odds
Accident odds increase for all sorts of reasons — speeding, drinking and driving, driving at night, etc. However, one of the issues that people could avoid most easily if they attempted to do so is distraction. By committing to focus on the road, drivers could largely decrease their odds of getting into a wreck.

Passive versus aggressive tailgaters

Take crash test ratings with a grain of salt
Crash test ratings may be where you start your search for a new car if safety is your main goal. Perhaps you have looked at the statistics and you know how many people pass away or suffer serious injuries every year. You don't want that to be you or a family member, so all you care about is getting a safe vehicle.
