Car Accidents And Driver Negligence

At the heart of many car accidents on our highways and byways is driver negligence, which can take any of the following forms:

• Distraction – Drivers owe their full attention to the road ahead and to the traffic on that road. When a driver becomes distracted by anything else, that driver increases the likelihood that a dangerous accident will take place. Smartphone usage is an especially dangerous – and common – distraction.
• Impairment – Motorists are all well aware that drinking and driving can be a deadly combination. Unfortunately, some drivers don’t find this fact compelling enough to kick the habit.
• Exhaustion – While drowsy drivers don’t get the same amount of press that impaired drivers do, they experience some of the same impairments that leave them prone to dangerous accidents.
• Excess Speed – Excess speed is commonly featured in fatal car accident statistics. When a driver speeds excessively, he or she is more likely to cause an accident, and the accident is more likely to be deadly. Excess speed, it must be said, is relative, and motorists are responsible for adopting speeds that address the actual risks on our roadway, including the dangerous effects of bad weather.

Car accidents are very often the result of these categories of driver negligence.
