DTSM Assignment: Who Causes Collisions
Inexperience: An inexperience driver can cause a collision because they’ve only begun driving a motor vehicle. For example a stunt driver who has built their whole life around driving has more experience behind the wheel and is more comfortable with driving. As someone like myself who has just begun driving this year does not fully understand driving a car. Possible way to avoid this is practice in a safe environment before going on the streets of Ottawa so new drivers have some experience driving a motor vehicle.
Inattention: Drivers who lack paying attention while drivers are a huge danger to other road users. Mostly this is caused by a lack of sleep. Prior to driving a motor vehicle make sure you’ve had good night’s rest. If the driver is falling asleep well operating a motor vehicle, the driver should stop either for the night or pull over when it is safe to rest.
Inconsideration: Drivers who don’t consider who has the right of way in a situation, could go out of turn and run into someone else. Simple solution to this, pay attention know the rules of the road.
Impatience: A driver who is impatient is prone to causing collisions. These drivers speed through traffic, roll through stop signs, run red lights , and don’t stop for traffic the list goes on. Just the other day on my way to school some impatient driver rolled through a stop sign making the left, as another driver (who had the right away) was entering the intersection. The collision was avoided but was very close. A solution to this is to be ready to leave on time in the morning or even to be 10 minutes early to avoid rushing through traffic.

Ignorance: Drivers who are ignorant of road conditions such as black ice or hydroplaning could easily lose control of their own vehicle. To solve this, be cautious when driving to road conditions and pay attention to road signs
Inability: If a driver has a mental disability then they are obviously unable to respond quick enough to avoid an accident, also if a driver is unable to use their arms and legs quickly, they might not react fast enough like stepping on the brakes in an emergency. Unfortunately, depending on the drivers case, the driver may have to take the bus or car pool with others. It’s for the safety of others and the driver.
Irresponsibility: Being a irresponsible driver means that you don’t maintain your vehicle properly, and this could cause a critical failure in the vehicle such as inability to brake, your power steering pump could break in the middle of a turn and cause you to lose control of your vehicle. Simple solution to this is take good care of your motor vehicle.
Impairment: Drunk driving is the most well known, but driving while under the influence of other substances such as marijuana or cocaine can impair your ability to react correctly and in a timely manner. A solution to this, don’t do it. If you’re going to then have a designated driver.
Improper seeing habits: Drivers who over time build bad seeing habits, for example when backing out of your drive way they never look left because no cars have ever come that way. Then one day a car does come and slams into the back of the car. Solution, don’t build improper seeing habits.
