Question 7653
Most accidents are...
- unavoidable, because the human factor is always present.
- avoidable, if risk factors are prevented.
- unavoidable, even if risk factors are prevented.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: avoidable, if risk factors are prevented.
Most can be avoided by preventing risk factors. The fact that there is always a person behind the wheel does not make crashes inevitable, because you can change your behavior, for example by stopping at stop signs, not driving fast, and not drinking. In the image, two cars have collided at an intersection with a stop sign.
