Despite improvements in vehicle technology, there are still large numbers of road accidents. Explain some of the causes of these accidents and suggest some measures that could be taken to address the problem.

Important advancements have been made over the

last

decade in the

car

industry, especially innovations in driverless

cars

. Regardless, the rate of

road

collisions has remained the same or even increased in some countries.

This

essay will examine what are the main reasons for

this

particular tendency and how it could be solved. There are some causes stemming from government policy.

First

and foremost, the main culprit of

car

accidents is increasing speed limits. Indeed, there is robust evidence that a slight increase in speed results in a higher likelihood of killing a pedestrian or

car

passenger. In Russia,

for example

,

last

year, 40% more people were killed because of

cars

than in 2019. Another reason is the failure during the process of planning transport infrastructures. There are many cases while pedestrians were injured because of the poor visibility in the

road

while the turn of the

road

is too sharp.

However

, governments could easily impose some rules regarding these two issues. Given the clear evidence in favour of decreasing speed limits, governments could contribute to

this

problem by simply setting more strict policies that decline the average speed of

cars

in the area.

Also

, immense investments are needed in order to adjust

road

and infrastructure in general.

Thus

, reorganising some dangerous areas, where probably many accidents have already happened, a pedestrian death count could decline significantly. In conclusion, even though the increasing quality of

cars

on the

road

can not completely prevent collisions since they are mostly associated with unbelievably high

car

speeds and adverse

road

systems, governments are able to help;

therefore

, by introducing new rules and finance some additional work for the

road

systems, many lives could be rescued.
