Common Causes of Car Accidents
Some common causes of car accidents may include the following:
- Distracted Driving: Talking on the phone, texting, or adjusting the radio can divert a driver's attention away from the road, resulting in devastating consequences.
- Speeding: Exceeding the speed limit decreases a driver's capability to react to hazards and increases the severity of accidents when they occur.
- Drunk Driving: Driving under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol impairs judgment, coordination, and reaction time, significantly increasing the risk of accidents.
- Reckless Driving: Erratic maneuvers such as tailgating, swerving between lanes, and running red lights can result in serious accidents. Reckless drivers endanger themselves and everyone else sharing the road with them.
- Poor Weather Conditions: Unfavorable weather conditions like rain, snow, fog, or ice can create hazardous driving conditions, increasing the risk of accidents.
