Explanation
**Risk factors** are circumstances that increase the likelihood of a traffic accident occurring. These circumstances can be related to the driver, the vehicle, the road, or the environment.
- **Human factors**: Include behaviors such as speeding, alcohol consumption, and distractions. These are responsible for between 70 and 90 out of every 100 accidents.
- **Road conditions**: Conditions such as wet roads or losing control on a curve can cause between 10 and 35 out of every 100 accidents.
- **Vehicle failure**: Mechanical problems such as brake failures or a flat tire can cause between 4 and 13 out of every 100 accidents.
It is important for drivers to be aware of these factors and take measures to minimize them, such as checking the condition of the tires or reducing speed in adverse conditions.
