Accidents in Zimbabwe are mainly caused by a combination of factors, including reckless driving, speeding, drunk driving, poor road conditions, inadequate vehicle maintenance, and insufficient enforcement of traffic regulations. Other contributing factors may include fatigue, distractions while driving (such as mobile phone use), and lack of road safety awareness. Additionally, the prevalence of old and poorly maintained vehicles on the roads can also contribute to accidents. *More Pindula News* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
