Several risk factors contribute to the occurrence of road traffic accidents, including:
Human factors: Distracted driving, speeding, alcohol and drug impairment, and non-use of seat belts or helmets. Vehicle factors: Mechanical failures, poor vehicle maintenance, and lack of safety features. Environmental factors: Poor road conditions, inadequate signage, and adverse weather conditions. Socioeconomic factors: Lower socioeconomic status is often associated with higher risk due to older vehicles, riskier driving behaviors, and less access to healthcare.
