Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: The human factor.
The human factor. It plays a role in between 70 and 90 out of every 100 crashes because people choose their speed, whether to drink before driving, and whether to look at their phone. The road and its surroundings come next, and the vehicle has the least influence.
