The Big Picture: Crash

40 years ago, car crashes were the least in people’s mind. Safety was not concerned at all. Each year, in America, more than 45000 people died on the road. It nearly equals to the total number of death during 30 years of Vietnam War. However, most of these accidents were unknown to public because there was no one investigating car accidents. The government concentrated on preventing accidents by driving standards, education… rather than improving car design to protect people during the accidents. Besides, cars were too important to everybody’s life that any change to reduce accidents was strongly against. Consequently, by 1960, accidents rate was out of control. In America, 50000 people died a year in car crashes. However, in November 1965, the book called “Unsafe at Any Speed”, written by Ralph Nader, has changed everything. It woke the American up. It showed them that cars were dangerous and they needed to be improved. In 1966, President Johnson signed new law to protect drivers, laying hand on the untouchable car industry. By that time, 1500000 people have been killed on the road. Car companies began to pay more attention to safety. They installed seatbelts, airbags…


Before the 1990, styling sales car, but since then, safety sales car. However, car accidents have not reduced. Every day, more than 2000 people are killed by car accidents around the world. Obviously, the more the engineering becomes safe, the more dangerously people drive.

Speed can also cause accidents. Most drivers do not regard over speeding as a crime. Few of them accept the fact that the higher the speed is, the higher the risk of getting accidents rise and the more severely the injuries during accidents become.

There are also other factors contributing to accidents. The weight of the vehicle can be one contribution. Surprisingly, light vehicles have twice more chances of getting accidents than heavier vehicles. And when a light and a heavy vehicle crash, the injuries of the light vehicle’s driver are 13 times heavier than that of the heavy vehicle. Weather condition is another factor.

25 millions people die on the road in the world and 96% of these accidents are fault of the driver. Obviously, driving is the most dangerous activity in everyday life. However, usually, drivers do not aware that they could die any moment. They think that they would never have a crash. If there is an accident, they say that only low-skilled driver makes that kind of fault. That will never happen to them. They go on with their life, continue to over speed, to drive without wearing seatbelt. Most of drivers do not learn from other people’s accidents. They often tend to forget how dangerous driving is.
