Usual Causes of Bus Accidents

Compared to other motor vehicles, buses have a lower risk of getting into accidents. However, when a bus gets into an accident, the chances of having serious injuries are higher compared to other ground transportation vehicles. This is because of several factors. One is the lack of safety restraints — most buses don’t have seatbelts or airbags. Another factor is the sheer size and height of buses, which influence the buses’ stability and center of gravity, making them prone to tipping over.

Here are some of the common causes of bus accidents:

  • Speeding
  • Driving under the influence
  • Driver fatigue
  • Maintenance failure
  • Tire failure
  • Inadequate bus driver training
