What Causes Road Accidents?....

I was watching the television this morning and heard a discussion by the host and a senior police officer on a topic related to road accidents. It was indicated that the number of fatalities have increased during the recent "ops sikap 20" compared to last year. It was interesting to note that through the police's own research, road accidents are attributed to the "Four Es" namely road Education i.e. ineffective awareness campaign to educate the public on road safety, Enforcement i.e lack of enforcement on the existing law by law enforcers, Engineering, i.e road accidents occur as a result of engineering-related problem (roads or motor vehicles) and finally, the ability of road users to react quickly during emergency, i.e at the time when the accidents occur. Well researchers, that's a good framework to collect empirical data on road accidents. Any takers?....
