- W306201 abstract "In general, the occurrence of an accident is due to the combined effect of a number of deficiencies associated with road users, vehicles, road layout and environmental conditions. Accidents are therefore complex events and the elimination of any deficiency associated with the aforementioned may prevent an accident from occurring. While human error is found to be the most frequent contributing factor to road accidents, vehicle defects are reported as playing a role much less frequently. For example, the “Arrive Alive Campaign” revealed that vehicle defects was a contributory factor in 7 per cent of the 2 383 fatal crashes that occurred during the period October 1997 and January 1998. This may not seem substantial, but if one considers that 3 001 people died in those fatal accidents, the lives of approximately 210 people may have been saved if the vehicles were totally roadworthy. Subjectively, however, it appears that a significant and rapidly increasing number of vehicles suffer from serious blatant defects – such as bald tyres and severely cracked windscreens. Vehicle defects, therefore, would play a much larger role as a contributory factor to road accidents than is currently being reported. The aim of this study therefore, is to measure objectively the extent of vehicle defects, and to attempt to correlate this with the rate of occurrence of vehicle defects as a conditional antecedent in accidents. This paper focuses on the extent of vehicle defects and discusses the findings of a pilot survey undertaken at randomly selected shopping centres in the eThekwini Metropolitan area." @default.
