Default The cause of many deaths

Nearly 40 000 people die in road crashes each year in the USA. 10 the most common causes of car accidents:
  1. Distracted Driving
  2. Drunk Driving
  3. Speeding
  4. Reckless Driving
  5. Running Red Lights
  6. Running Stop Signs
  7. Teenage Drivers
  8. Ice
  9. Snow
  10. Brakes malfunctions
A failure to properly maintain the brake system of a passenger car can result in deadly crash. When it comes to SUVs or trucks the death toll can be a 3-digit number. Brake malfunctions are one of the most dangerous types of mechanical errors. Check your brakes during the Brake Safety Week. It is your duty to keep your vehicle in reasonably safe condition.

Best wishes! Drive safe

Exclamation

Don't forget tailgating!! Its escalated to extreme levels. I just let off the pedal and coast. If I get the "finger", too bad. If the driver wants to fight, well it wont go over very good for them, that's all I can say.
