| Cause | Why It Happens |
|---|---|
| Distracted Driving | Checking the app for new pings, looking at GPS navigation, or communicating with passengers. |
| Driver Fatigue | Many drivers work long shifts or "dual-app" (running Uber and Lyft simultaneously) to maximize earnings. |
| Sudden Stops | Drivers may brake abruptly in traffic to pick up or drop off passengers at GPS-marked locations. |
| Unfamiliar Areas | Drivers often travel into neighborhoods or cities they don't know well, leading to erratic turns or lane changes. |
| Speeding | The "pay-per-ride" model encourages drivers to finish trips quickly to fit more rides into a shift. |
| Parking Hazards | Pulling over in unsafe spots (double parking) increases the risk of being rear-ended or clipped. |
