Common Causes for Car Crashes
One of the most common causes for accidents is distracted driving. When it comes to driving, being distracted can be incredibly dangerous. Distracted driving can involve anything from using a cell phone to eating food to talking to passengers in the car. Even something as simple as changing the radio station can be enough to take a driver’s attention away from the road and potentially lead to an accident. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, distracted driving played a role in 3,166 fatal crashes in 2017 alone. That’s why it’s so important for drivers to be aware of the dangers of distracted driving and take steps to avoid it whenever possible. If you need to use your cell phone while driving, for example, pull over to a safe location first. And if you’re feeling tired or otherwise distracted, it’s best to wait until you can focus 100% on the task of driving before getting behind the wheel.
Poor road conditions are another leading cause of car accidents. By understanding the risks and taking precautions, drivers can help reduce their chances of being involved in an accident.
There are several risk factors associated with poor road conditions:
- Potholes can damage tires and cause drivers to lose control of their vehicles.
- Poorly lit roads can make it difficult for drivers to see obstacles in the road.
- Ice and snow can make roads slippery and dangerous.
Precautions That Drivers Can Take To Avoid Accidents
- Inspect your tires regularly for damage.
- Drive slowly and carefully in poor lighting conditions.
- Be extra cautious when driving in ice and snow.
