Transport

Driving risks and dangers


Why do we even use cars?
convenient, comfortable – public transport has its downsides (crowded, tardiness)
some people get off on driving – car enthusiasts (speeding) – they want to break free

The risks themselves


fog: many forget to turn on their lights – death sentence

rain: slippery roads, traffic, limited sight

weariness: f.e.: long distance trip – tiring


20% of car accidents are fatigue- related

dui: alcohol, drugs – not thinking clearly, disorientated


young people are usually the root of the cause (US – 50% of dui-s)
frequently at holidays

phone usage: phones assist us in driving (GPS, music)


but! devices distract easily – constant notifications, ear- piercing music
in 2017 a woman had an accident involving an ambulance car – she listened to
despacito on max volume

How to avoid – conclusion


obey the rules
drive at a steady normal pace
observe the environment set on the day
most of these risks are avoidable – give heed
