Police reported accidents were coded in terms of elements of the accident generation process. Analyses were conducted to relate general driver and vehicle characteristics to responsibility for the accidents and to reasons for the precipitation of accidents. Driver and vehicle characteristics included driver age, sex, license type, restraint use, and drinking status. Vehicle characteristics were age and general vehicle type. The main reasons for accident generation were information failures, control failures, and control failures associated with slippery roads.
