Despite improvements in vehicle technology, there are still large numbers of road
accidents
. Explain some of the
causes
 of these
accidents
, and suggest some measures that could be taken to address the problem.
Although
 technology has advanced in recent years, there are many road
accidents
 in the world each day. There are several
causes
 of these tragedies. Hopefully, we can do many things to overcome the problem. There are three main reasons why road
accidents
 still occur. The most crucial cause of crashes is
drivers
' sleepiness and tiredness. Lots of
drivers
 prefer not to take a nap while they're tired.
Instead
, they continue riding, and so many times, a disaster occurs.
Secondly
, there are many low-quality
roads
. Not meeting quality standards, these
roads
 cause so many
accidents
.
For instance
, outdated asphalt
causes
 brakes not to function properly, resulting in disasters. At
last
, many people do not maintain their cars regularly. If a vehicle is not maintained well, it won't function appropriately.
As a result
, it may cause
accidents
. People and the government can do several things to prevent these disasters. In my opinion, we should mainly invest in informing and educating. Had
drivers
 known tiredness is the main reason for
accidents
, they would have been more cautious. Many things can be done for
this
 purpose.
For instance
, radio channels can encourage
drivers
 to take a nap while they are exhausted.
Besides
this
 approach, improving the quality of
roads
 is very important. The government should assign a meaningful budget for renewing the old asphalt, and all the
roads
 should be checked regularly for quality. By these means, we can decrease the rate of
accidents
 dramatically. To sum up, there are various
causes
 of
accidents
, in spite of advances in technology, and many approaches can be taken to overcome
this
 phenomenon.
