“Would you like to know where traffic accidents are common? Where do you think it is? It’s near the driver’s home.”
One person said. In response to that unexpected point, I said:
“Isn’t it because the driver isn’t paying attention to his surroundings because he’s near his home? It’s a path that’s gone by, so he’s lacking attention.”
Then the person said. “That’s not true. The cause isn’t psychological. You’ll often have to go near your home. You’ll pass often, which will increase your chances of a traffic accident.”
I thought it was true. Certainly, given that the probability of a traffic accident is constant for all drivers, the more often a vehicle passes a certain place, the higher the probability of a traffic accident there. I thought that a traffic accident was a problem of probability, not a lack of attention of the driver.
Of course, the car is certainly a useful and attractive tool. The chair moves at high speed just by moving the limbs.
Drivers who love cars sometimes go out without deciding where to go, instead of driving the car for some purpose. That is the nature of those who love cars.
However, there is a probability that a traffic accident will occur from the moment the car starts moving.
The probability of a traffic accident is zero when the car is stationary or absent, but moving cars always carry the risk of a traffic accident.
When the traffic volume increases, the probability of an accident increases dramatically due to the encounter of such certain probabilities.
Isn’t that the essence of a traffic accident? I think that the cause of a traffic accident is not the driver’s driving skill, but the traffic volume.
Now, with the spread of corona infections, we are less likely to move. Naturally, the traffic volume will have decreased. Therefore, it seems that the number of traffic accidents is decreasing.
Should we welcome this?
It’s good to reduce traffic accidents, but if it’s caused by an infectious disease, it’s a bad joke.
Car industry has improved reliability in most models… The term we attached was designed obsolescence. …
That’s all for today’s post. Thank you
