What are the causes of traffic accidents?

Traffic accidents can be caused by a variety of reasons, generally speaking, the causes include: objective factors, roads, meteorology and other reasons, but also can cause accidents. The vehicle is in poor condition, the technical condition of the vehicle is poor, especially the braking system, steering system, front axle, rear axle are faulty, and they are not checked and repaired in time.

Negligence, due to psychological or physical reasons, the person concerned does not correctly observe and judge the external things, resulting in distraction and slow response, which is manifested as inconsiderate observation, inadequate measures or impropriety. There are also parties who rely on their own subjective imagination to judge affairs or overestimate their own skills, are overconfident, and blindly pass without clearly judging the vehicles ahead, left and right, pedestrian shapes, road conditions, etc. Operation error, the driving personnel are not skilled, lack of experience, lack of safe driving knowledge, do not grasp the characteristics of complex road driving, panic in case of sudden situations, and make operation errors.

In violation of regulations, the party concerned does not follow traffic laws and other traffic safety regulations to drive or walk, resulting in a traffic accident. Traffic accidents caused by drunk driving, non-driving personnel driving, speeding, scrambling, illegal loading, overcrowding, fatigue driving, pedestrians not taking crosswalks, etc. Traffic accidents are caused by unfavorable factors in terms of vehicles, the environment, and roads.

Traffic accidents are often triggered by objective causes in some cases, especially road, environmental and climatic factors. Road and environmental factors are not well investigated and tested, so they are often overlooked in accident analysis, and this needs to be taken seriously.

The main cause of traffic accidents is also caused by drivers ignoring traffic laws, with drinking and driving being the most serious. The so-called "after drinking" refers to the amount of alcohol consumed, as long as the alcohol containing alcohol, including liquor, beer or fruit wine, is drunk within eight hours, it is after drinking; The second is the alcohol detector detection to see if there is alcohol in the blood, and if it contains alcohol, it is "drunk". So why is it forbidden to drive a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol?

Because the motor vehicle is a fast, impulsive means of transportation, it requires the driver to make a quick judgment within 0 75 seconds for the rapidly changing traffic situation on the road, and take appropriate technical measures to ensure traffic safety. After drinking, alcohol can have an anesthetic inhibitory effect on the central nervous system of the person. Experiments have proved that when drinkers contain 50 milligrams of alcohol per 100 milliliters of blood, their reaction ability decreases, when they reach 100 milligrams, they drop by about 35, and when they reach 150 milligrams, they drop by 50, and make people lose control of their movements and hands and feet.

When a driver is driving without drinking alcohol and detects a dangerous situation ahead, the reaction time between visual perception and the action of pressing the brake pedal is generally 0 75 seconds. After drinking, the driver will have farsightedness, and errors will occur in the three-dimensional perception of vision; Second, the reaction time should be increased by two to three times. Therefore, China's "Road Traffic Law" prohibits drunk driving.

Some people mistakenly think that the prohibition of alcohol is limited to liquor, but in fact all alcoholic beverages contain alcohol, such as beer contains 3 to 5, wine contains 10 to 15, and liquor contains 50 to 60. According to statistics, drivers who drive under the influence of alcohol are 16 times more likely to be involved in traffic accidents than if they do not drink alcohol. Because drunk driving is extremely harmful to traffic order and traffic safety, China treats drunk driving as a serious violation.

1. The main causes of traffic accidents are as follows:

1) The road grade is low;

2) The overall composition of the vehicle is unreasonable;

3) Some passenger transport enterprises do not implement the safety production system;

4) Driver's safety awareness is weak;

5) Traffic management measures are not in place.

2. Legal basis: Article 109 of the Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China.

If a fine or suspension of a driver's license is imposed on a road traffic safety violator, the traffic management department of the people's public security organ at or above the county level or the traffic management department of the public security organ at the same level shall make a decision; The penalty of revocation of the motor vehicle driver's license shall be decided by the traffic management department of the people's public security organ of the city divided into districts or the traffic management department of the public security organ equivalent to the same level.

If the traffic management department of the public security organ does not punish the road traffic safety violation of the motor vehicle in the jurisdiction on the spot, it may be punished by the traffic management department of the public security organ at the place where the motor vehicle is registered.

2. How to determine a traffic accident.

1. It must be caused by a vehicle. Vehicles include motor vehicles and non-motor vehicles, and traffic accidents cannot be constituted without vehicles, for example, collisions between pedestrians and pedestrians in the course of travel do not constitute traffic accidents;

2. It happened on the road. Roads refer to highways, urban roads and places that are within the jurisdiction of the unit but allow social motor vehicles to pass. Including squares, public parking lots and other places used for public passage;

3. Occurs in motion. It refers to the event that occurs in the process of driving or parking, if the vehicle is in a complete stop state, the pedestrian takes the initiative to collide with the vehicle or the passenger gets on and off the car in the process of crowding, falling, and ** accidents, it is not a traffic accident;

4. Something happened. It refers to one of the phenomena such as collision, crushing, scratching, rollover, crash, **, fire, etc.;

5. The cause of the situation is man-made. It means that the occurrence of the situation is due to the fault or unexpected behavior of the person involved in the accident. If it is caused by various natural disasters that people cannot resist, it is not a traffic accident;

6. There must be a harmful consequence. Damage consequences are direct damage consequences only and are material losses, including personal injury and property damage.

Legal analysis: In accident-prone road sections, the terrain is often complex, with many curves and ramps, bridges, culverts and tunnels, and large uphill and downhill slopes.

Legal basis: Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China Article 42 If a motor vehicle is driving on the road, it shall not exceed the maximum speed indicated by the speed limit sign. On roads where there is no dust and early speed limit signs, a safe speed should be maintained.

When driving at night or on road sections prone to danger, as well as in meteorological conditions such as dust, hail, rain, snow, fog, and ice, you should reduce your driving speed.
