II. Causes of Road Accidents In Cambodia, road accidents are caused by three main factors: a) Human Factors (Road Users) As RTAVIS data for 2006 demonstrates, an overwhelming 92% of road accident are caused by road users who violate the traffic law (speeding, driving carelessly, drunk driving) b) Road Defects Accidents have also been caused by road/bridge infrastructure, which has not achieved the appropriate safety standard (eg. potholes in the road) in many parts of the country. c) Lack of Vehicle Maintenance Poorly-maintained vehicles are causing road accident. Consequently, road accident occurred when brakes and steering fail, tires blowout, and headlights do not work

DRUNKEN driving and speeding have caused an eight percent increase in road deaths in Cambodia during the first six months of this year, compared with the same period in 2007.
