Car Accidents

The world of today has a lot of accidents for many reasons, such as car accidents, fire accidents, or water accidents. But, the most serious is car accidents that occur due to a careless driver. Korea has one of the highest numbers of car accidents in the world and Japan is the second country for car accidents. There are a few reasons that are the most important causes of car accidents in the world. This is fast driving, drunk driving, and dozing off at the wheel while driving.

First, people can cause traffic accidents because some people do not know how fast they are driving their car. For example, most teenagers and twenty-somethings have this situation. In some cases, in Korea the men are under 20 years old, but when they drive on highways or normal road, they sometimes drive recklessly, so the man's driver's licence was suspended because of his history of reckless driving. According to statistics, more men are speeding than women. In addition, the government has to make some strong laws for safe driving for teenagers. Therefore, fast driving is one of the causes of traffic accidents.

Secondly, people can cause traffic accidents by driving after they have been drinking alcohol a lot. We can usually see people who have these problems in every place like father, brother, friends, etc. In my case, a few years ago, my father, who got drunk, drove his car from his company to my home. However, my father was caught in a general crackdown on drunk drivers, so he had his license revoked for drunk driving. After this event, my father adopted the style of driving carefully. The poeple who are drinking drivers will reduce their life spam. In fact, the poeple who have a car or drive a car should know how to control their car and how to drive a car well.

Lastly, people can cause traffic accidents because they doze off at the wheel while driving. For example, some people can fall asleep while driving because people get tired and they drive too long. When I was driving in Korea, I saw that other drivers were falling asleep while driving. This situation will cause damage to people. However, some people may not recognize their dozing off in a car. Therefore, falling asleep at the wheel causes traffic accidents.

In conclusion, these situations can cause car accidents in the world. I think that the most important cause of car accidents is drunk driving. We should adopt safe driving for our life, so we should not drink alcohol at all while we are driving. I think that fast driving, drunk driving, and falling asleep driving are not good for us. Therefore, people should reduce traffic accidents for their safe life.
