What are some top driving errors?

Everyone makes mistakes, but most mistakes don’t result in the possible loss of life or thousands of dollars in damage. It is important you understand what the common errors that people make when driving so you can avoid them. The top errors drivers make are:
1) Not attending to the path of travel
2) Driving five or more miles per hour too fast for conditions
3) Driving too fast through a curve
4) Inadequate search at an intersection and failing to yield to cross traffic
5) Lack of attention at an intersection and being struck by another driver
6) Improper evasive action
7) Failure to maintain visual lead
8) Following too closely
9) Failure to see action developing at the side of the roadway
10) Willfully taking right-of-way
