Definition of traffic accident

A traffic accident (sometimes also stated as a traffic accident) is understood to be those acts in which one or more vehicles are involved causing material and human damage. Traffic accidents are more and more numerous and common if we take into account that a large part of the world population moves in motorized vehicles on very crowded transport routes where weather conditions , the state of the routes or even the responsibility and Common sense drivers are lacking.

Traffic accidents are considered to be one of the main forms of death in the world because the time that we use today on these vehicles is very important compared to other historical times. The current human being uses a lot of time to move from home to work or other spaces, as well as to travel or have vacations. On the other hand, vehicles of all kinds (cars, trucks, buses, motorcycles, bicycles) are increasingly modern and present characteristics that should serve the benefit of the user (such as, for example, that they reach a higher speed in less time) but that many times end up being the cause of the same accidents due to the irresponsible use that their owners make of them.

Traffic accidents can occur for various causes. Some are unpredictable and not measurable or avoidable by humans, for example as happens with weather conditions. However, man can take precautions that are often not taken into account (for example, not driving on rainy days , with wet pavement or in areas of collapse or falling stones).
Other causes have to do with mere negligence and irresponsibility of drivers, such as driving without a seat belt safety angle without the vehicle has the necessary technical verification, no sleep, alcohol, etc. All these situations increase the chances of some type of traffic accident that can generate very severe human injuries (even death), as well as serious material losses.
