Several factors can influence accident rates, including:
- Demographic Factors: Age, gender, and socioeconomic status can significantly affect accident rates. For example, young drivers may have higher accident rates due to inexperience. - Environmental Factors: Weather conditions, road infrastructure, and urbanization levels can impact accident frequency. - Behavioral Factors: Risky behaviors such as speeding, driving under the influence, and not wearing seatbelts can increase accident rates.
