‘Driver error causes 95% of crashes’

DRIVER error is responsible for over 95% of collisions involving death and injury, a road safety conference heard in Dublin yesterday.

Christopher Bullock, chief executive of Britain’s Institute of Advanced Motorists, also debunked the view that road deaths and injuries are the result of accidents.

“Let’s be quite clear, there is nothing accidental about them at all,” he told a conference hosted by Irish Advanced Motorists.
