We have all been there, driving along, as casual as you like before catching something and causing a lot of damage to your vehicles exterior. However, our inability to maintain our concentration is not the only cause of car damages and why there are so many vehicles out there that need repair. With more cars than ever registered on the roads the chances of a minor incident are dramatically increased and these are the three main reasons accidents occur. All of them are easily avoidable! Concentration As I mentioned above, concentration or a lack of it is the number one cause of avoidable car incidents. Most of the time, drivers get themselves into such a comfortable position that they actually become quite vulnerable. I have lost count on the amount of time that I have been driving along a dual carriage-way in the UK, only to see an idiot in a BMW weaving in and out of traffic before seeing them pulled over on the hard shoulder with a whopping great big dent in the side. Hardly undeserved but it could have so easily been a completely different story. In Car Entertainment This leads on from the above point really and it all comes back to that important word. Concentration. It’s quite simple really, you don’t concentrate, you cause an incident and will inevitably have to pay some cash either through an insurance claim or car body repairs. I work alongside a friend that runs a car garage that specialises in Car Body Repairs in Milton Keynes and he will openly admit that 8/10 vehicles that come in for repair contain an in car entertainment system that was no doubt part of the reason the car was crashed/damaged. Poor Observations If you really wanted to, you could link this to the first point too. However, let’s give some of the guys a little break. When you start learning to drive, one of the first things you are taught is a routine called POMS. This stands for Positioning, Observations, Manoeuvre and Speed. Just like in any vehicle, you need to make a number of observations before you set off, ideally looking out for traffic, pedestrians and any other form of potential obstruction.
