Common Causes of Car Accidents
- Distracted Driving: There are many forms of distracted driving, such as texting or changing radio stations while behind the wheel. These practices cause a driver to take their eyes off the road and lead to accidents.
- Speeding: Exceeding the posted speed limit is always dangerous. The faster a motor vehicle is traveling, the more time it takes to come to a full stop when needed. In addition, the greater the velocity, the greater the impact and forces imparted upon the passengers.
- Driving Under the Influence: Alcohol and/or drug consumption can inhibit a driver’s ability to think and reason clearly and can also impair one’s reaction time.
- Inclement Weather Conditions: Inclement weather such as rain and wind can cause loss of vehicle control and hydroplaning.
- Aggressive/Reckless Driving: Aggressive and reckless driving such as frequently changing lanes and pulling out in front of other motor vehicles can easily cause an accident.
- Failure to Stop: When a motor vehicle runs a red light or stop sign, the chances of being involved in an accident increase substantially.
- Design Defects: We’ve all heard of motor vehicle recalls. This is because, even with careful planning and testing, design defects do occur. Sometimes these defects can lead to accidents.
- Road Hazards: Certain road hazards, such as potholes and roadkill, can cause vehicles to flip and the driver lose control.
- Tailgating: Tailgating is when one motor vehicle follows very closely behind a second motor vehicle, not leaving enough room to quickly stop should the need arise.
- Fatigue: Driving while tired is a dangerous practice and can cause an accident.
