In what percentage of accident cases was the driver committing an offence?
Traffic accidents
Explanation
The **correct answer** is that in **80% of cases** of accidents, the driver was committing some infraction. This is because **human risk factors** are responsible for the majority of traffic accidents. These factors include **speeding**, **alcohol consumption**, and **distractions** at the wheel. According to the data, between **70 and 90 out of every 100 accidents** are caused by these human behaviors.
Distractions, for example, occur when the driver focuses on something unrelated to driving, such as using a mobile phone or looking at a shop window. These behaviors can be avoided if the driver acts responsibly, which would significantly reduce the number of accidents.
