Two-thirds of car accidents are not related solely to trip length, but to a combination of road conditions, mechanical issues, and the like. For each \u201caccident,\u201d the major contributing factor will vary.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Accident prevention <\/strong><br \/>\nDue to the large combination of risk factors, there are many opportunities for prevention, including addressing radiator issues (smoking), regular maintenance (early diagnostics and detection), and more.<\/p>\n<p>Cancer spinning out of control?
