Crashing into other stationary objects, people, animals and other cars.
It's surprising really. I'm sure that crashing into stuff has a lot to do with most highway fatalities.
Seriously, if I had to guess about what should be on the top of the easily avoidable danger list, it'd be the following:
1) tailgating
2) failing to signal
3) running red lights
4) looking too long on the shoulder check (I never understood how it could ever be safe to look behind you whilst travelling forward at anything more than 20mph)
5) indecisiveness in selecting exits/lanes/turns/how to react to yellow light
6) cr*p brakes, tires and other obvious basic auto maintenance items
7) failing to assume (usually correctly) that the person in the car next to you:
a) is incompetent/distracted/psychopathic,
b) controls two tons of hurtling steel glass and rubber, AND
c) doesn't particularly care if you live or die.
Just my two cents.
