According to the Association for Safe International Road Travel, about 1.3 fatalities and 20-50 million injuries and disabilities occur as a result of road crashes every year. A lot of these crashes can be related to loss of vehicle control, which can be caused by a number of reasons. The top three causes of vehicle accidents- speeding, distracted driving, and driving under the influence- each can result in the loss of control of their vehicle. Other causes include sudden braking, sudden turn of the wheel, and driving on poor road conditions.
