Research reveals that the human factor is a major cause of traffic accidents (97%-98%). Human fault results from miscellaneous factors such as education, age, gender and psychology, etc. While examining those faults, it is necessary to analyze if there are reasons depending on individuals or making individuals prone to those faults.
