Car Crash

The car is one of our most prized tools in dealing with the chaos of the modern world; additionally, the car allows us to travel over long distances-we dynamite mountains and pave through jungles for the sake of transportation. Unfortunately, with our reliance on cars, comes a grave danger to our persons: the car crash.

A car crash is most likely to occur when the driver is not properly paying attention to his or her driving. It is important to remember how dangerous driving is at all times-keeping in mind the consequences of a car crash can help prevent one. Over ninety percent of the time, a car crash is due to human inattention on the road. This means that the very concept of a car crash cannot exist separately from human mistake-they are innately correlated.

If a car crash does occur, some vehicles are safer than others. Driving in an SUV may create a lower risk of fatality in case of a car crash for its driver and passengers, but the SUV ultimately just transfers the risk over to the other vehicle involved in a collision-the chance of a fatality in the other car actually becomes higher. "Safety" cars, such as a few of the Volvo models, sharply reduce the chance of fatality in case of a car crash through their advanced crumpling mechanism designed to protect those inside the car.

Great controversy has been created over the new generation of cars designed to reach higher speeds-car companies are accused of encouraging the possibility of a car crash. On the other hand, many security measures have been put in place such as ABS, the airbag, and safer seatbelts. One can only hope these things compensate for each other and reduce the total risk of a car crash. In the end it is up to us to be attentive and alert while driving-car crashes will occur frequently until we do.
