MY COMMENT
We probably need to throttle back the 90%-95% attributable to 'human error'...
there are other factors.
Back in 2021 I had a post and someone from a group
safetydifferently respond to a discussion on Speed, Seat Belts & DUI with

- "You use a hindsight biased blame narrative to regurgitate the same old finger pointing that has failed to help people avoid the majority of accidents for 80 years."
i don't agree
BUT
I post as it does make you think and reconsider what might be the actual % causation factor for drivers since also roadway design and controls, lighting, visibility, and other things are probably more than only 5-10%.
