This does not mean that this many accidents are directly caused by human error but that human error played a substantial role in the accident. Recognition error is one of the most common causes of car crashes. This category includes things like distracted driving. Decision error is another common cause of vehicle accidents and includes things like speeding, illegal maneuver, and misjudging how other motorists will perform. Performance error is another common cause of accidents and includes over-compensating or poor vehicle control.
