Car Accidents in Alabama
To better understand the dangers of roadway collisions, here are a few contributing factors drivers and passengers should be aware of:
- Distracted Driving: Using phones, GPS devices, or other distractions behind the wheel can easily lead to missed signals or slow reaction times. This is one of the top causes of crashes throughout Alabama, and it affects drivers of all ages.
- Speeding: Exceeding posted limits or driving too fast for road conditions remains a major contributor to traffic accidents. Speeding reduces the time drivers have to react and makes any collision more likely to result in serious injuries.
- Impaired Driving: Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs continues to take lives each year. Even a small amount of impairment can drastically affect judgment, coordination, and response time.
- Failure to Yield: Many intersection crashes happen when a driver fails to yield the right of way. Whether running a red light or misjudging oncoming traffic, this type of error can have tragic consequences.
- Weather Conditions: Rainy weather, especially in areas like Mobile, can quickly make roads slippery and reduce visibility. Drivers who don’t adjust their speed or following distance may lose control and cause collisions.
