Type of Dangerous Automobile Drivers

Car accidents are one of the major causes of death and injuries in our modern age. There are many things that influence the risk of being involved in a car accident: The type of the car, the condition of the road, and the human factor, which is the biggest influence of all. In the USA the top three reasons that cause accidents due to dangerous behavior of the driver are: drivers who speed, driver who talk on the cell phone while driving, and drivers who come from Israel.

There hundred years ago, we wouldn’t dream about getting from Austin to Houston in 3 hours; it probably would have taken 3 days, but for some drivers 65 miles/hour is not enough. They don’t mind risking their life just to save few minutes. Sometimes they even do not hurry; they just enjoy driving fast with their new sports car. The worse ones buy a radar detector so they won’t be caught by the police.

How many times has it happened to you that you almost hit someone while talking on the cell phone? I must admit it happens to me all the time, but I still do it. Drivers talk on the cell in spite of the risk, because it is so convenient to use the time you are driving to talk to your friends.

The most dangerous drivers in the USA are the ones who come from Israel. The reason for that is: they have a collection of all the worst driving habit that you can ever imagine. First, they drive fast while talking on the phone. Second, they do not care about traffic laws, but they seem to remember the traffic laws only when it is in their favor. Finally, they do not maintain their car well; therefore, it is really an environmental risk to drive near them.

Throughout the history of the automobile, many lives have been lost due to accidents. Most of them have been caused by dangerous drivers who do not care about safety. But it seems that only in Texas people understood that, instead of trying to educate the drivers, all they need to do is to drive with a big SUV. All around Texas you can see big cars that would protect the driver in case of an accident.
So, before you go out on the dangerous roads think about it, watch your speed, put down your phone, and look out for cars with “I love Tel-Aviv” bumper sticker. Or, better yet, trade in that Honda Civic for a Hummer.
