I saw someone else's question recently giving statistics that 17% of traffic accidents are alcohol related. I don't know how accurate that is, but it sounds about right.

I'll take door # 3: Tired drivers
There really is not an official category listing tired as a seperate cause of death, but anybody who has done a lot of driving realizes that it should be.
Death caused by speeding is actually impossible to quantify. Because whether or not you die in a car accident is more of a factor of where you live & how quickly you can get to the nearest Level 1 trauma center
than it is about how fast you were driving.
I used to drive the big empty spaces of the West on a daily basis and an accident that I would easily survive in my native NYC would kill me in rural AZ because of the time and distances in getting to the right hospital.I recall hearing a statistic that basically stated that while numerically only 20% of the actual accidents in AZ happen in rural areas, 80 % of the fatalities occur there

My mazda protoge5 keeps sliding in the snow almost got into a couple off accidents... What should i do?

This is a loaded question because when an accident occurs and alchohol is not a contributing factor then the police will automatically figure out a way to make speed the reason. This was the case when a truck driver going 20MPH lost control of his rig on an off ramp that was marked at 35MPH but the police said the cause was excessive speed...although the truck driver dropped a front steer tire off into a huge rut on the edge of the pavement. No mention of failure to control...just excessive speed. The police skewer the way they write accident reports to suit the situation. Failure to control due to excessive speed? There's a really good catch-all citation isn't it? You can see where I'm going with this, right? If the police write enough accident reports with "speeding" as the reason for the mishap then they can justify 55MPH roads just about anywhere. My guess is that DUI...be it drugs or alchohol...is the largest cause of accidents. My second choice would be inattentive drivers. And third would be young drivers.
