Certainly, a large number of accidents will be reduced.
“Inability to control the vehicle due to fatigue and drowsiness and insisting on long-term and non-stop driving is one of the most important causes of road accidents,” he said.
The head of the Rahoor NAJA Traffic Information and Control Center stated: “Unauthorized speed means violation of the allowed speed, which increases the probability of an accident and plays an important role in the severity and increase of injuries during an accident. The second cause of accidents is; Inadequate forward attention due to cell phone use while driving, smoking and eating and drinking while driving can also distract the driver.
Colonel Shirani pointed out: Unauthorized overtaking due to the driver’s haste and acceleration is the fourth factor that has accounted for many accidents because unfortunately a limited number of drivers only think of arriving early and never reach the permitted kilometer of road and speed. They do not pay attention and want to save time with advance and reach the speed limit faster. Unfortunately, overtaking and speeding cause an accident for both the driver and the other drivers, and leads to maximum damage and casualties in accidents. .
* Road, car, human factor are three effective factors in the occurrence of an accident
