The invention of the wheel is considered one of the most significant scientific achievements to date. The utilization of wheels in vehicles has revolutionized transportation worldwide, providing unprecedented convenience and benefits to humanity. However, the ancient inventors of the wheel in 3000 BC could not have foreseen the tragic reality that modern wheels, as part of vehicles, would bear witness to the deaths of over a million individuals each year in road accidents. These accidents involve collisions between vehicles and accidents involving other road users. While a multitude of factors contribute to these accidents, this research primarily focuses on two main categories: driver errors and mechanical deficiencies. Driver errors account for nearly 70% of the total causes of accidents. Over speeding and poor overtaking are particularly significant contributors to driver-related accidents. Furthermore, mechanical faults in vehicles, such as defective brake or steering systems, play a substantial role in these incidents. Additionally, the inadequate road sense displayed by pedestrians, cyclists, motorcyclists, and animal-driven vehicles exposes them to increased vulnerability and involvement in accidents. Poor road conditions, characterized by narrow congested roads with potholes, wheel ruts, drop shoulders, and inadequate curves, also contribute to accident occurrences. Inadequate first aid and evacuation facilities further hinder the provision of immediate medical treatment, impacting the potential for early recovery and survival. The aim of this research is to address the technical (mechanical) factors contributing to road accidents and propose remedial measures to enhance road safety. By examining critical mechanical defects and deficiencies, this study seeks to minimize road accidents stemming from technical issues. Furthermore, through the analysis of survey data obtained from 161 accident victims, this research identifies driver errors as a prominent concern in road accidents, reinforcing the importance of addressing this issue for improved road safety
