CAR CRASH INVESTIGATIONS

- - - - - - by Dieter Fischer - - - - - - 

 

Car Crashes can happen to anyone. But they are less likely to happen to motorists, who apply their knowledge and skills diligently to eliminate the most common cause of crashes - DRIVER ERROR. Our investigations focus on this, rather than mechanical or other issues involved. 

 

As with air disasters major road crashes are often caused by the smallest detail - a minor misunderstanding, neglecting important routines or not adjusting to weather conditions. Whilst plane crashes are very thoroughly investigated at great expense, and the findings made public, the same can't be said for road crashes. 

 

Some case studies below are based on actual crashes, as reported by those involved! They may read like fiction, but sadly, serious crashes, just as explained here, occur somewhere every day. 

As you read - think! Learn from the mistakes others made and save yourself the trauma of a road crash! Motoring for 20, 30 or 50 years without causing a crash is possible! 

Road safety must be owned by everyone!

 

Stay safe!
