#3 – Careless, Reckless or in a Hurry
The cause of careless or reckless driving is more often than not a driver who is in a rush to get somewhere and/or has a lack of respect for other road users. It can manifest as speeding, driving innapropriately for the conditions or allowing themselves to be distracted by outside factors. We’ve all seen the person talking or texting on their phone while driving at 70mph haven’t we. Or the woman doing her makeup while driving? Carlessness and recklessness account for around 16% of all road traffic accidents, over 17% of fatalities and are largely the domain of younger drivers. It’s the reason why their car insurance premiums are so high.
