An investigation of road-user errors was carried out as part of an at-scene study of road accidents by an interdisciplinary team. Using data obtained from on-site investigations and follow-up interviews, a tentative classification of road-user errors was developed. Two errors accounted for over half the known errors committed: these were failure to look (28.5%) and excessive speed with regard to the conditions (25.3%).
