Other than fast driving there are other reasons for accidents….

It is true that sometimes a driver drives too fast and fails to get round a corner. It is also true that sometimes accidents occur because the driver is going too fast but one must remember that there are also other causes of accidents.

Accidents can occur through careless

overtaking(C1). Bad drivers overtake

near corners. They overtake on hills when

they cannot see ahead. They misjudge the

distance between themselves and

oncoming vehicles(C2). They become

impatient take risks.

Some drivers also do not pay

attention(C3) to what they are doing.

Their lack of concentration (C3)causes

many accidents. Some drivers even go to

sleep at the wheel(C4). This is quite

common among lorry drivers(C4) who

have to travel long distances.

Overloading of vehicles(C5) is another

cause of accidents. Sometimes a puncture,

failure of the brakes or some other

mechanical failure makes the driver lose

control of his vehicle(C6). This also causes

a number of accidents. These different causes

of accidents show how unfair it is always to put

the blame for accidents on fast drivers.
