Understanding the causes of accidents can help drivers stay safe on the road. Here are some common risk factors:
- Distracted Driving: One of the leading causes of accidents, distractions like texting, adjusting navigation, or talking to passengers can take a driver’s focus off the road and lead to serious crashes.
- Speeding: Driving above the speed limit reduces reaction time and increases the severity of accidents. High-speed crashes often result in more severe injuries.
- Intersections & Left-Turn Crashes: Many accidents happen at intersections, especially when drivers fail to yield while making left turns. These crashes often involve high-impact collisions.
- Weather-Related Accidents: Rain, fog, and icy conditions can make driving dangerous, leading to reduced visibility and slippery roads that increase the likelihood of crashes.
