There are many reasons that people get into collisions out on the road. What follows is a list of the biggest dangers that drivers face:
Distracted Driving: This can come in many forms. Big culprits include driving while texting or talking on the phone, or rubbernecking at the site of a collision.
Fatigue: Your awareness and reaction time are both compromised when you are tired. Don’t be afraid of pulling over for a nap if you really need to.
Driving Under the Influence: Collisions resulting from alcohol or other inebriating substances are among the most deadly.
Reckless Driving: Whether you’re speeding, or simply driving more aggressively, you are at a greater risk of getting into an accident.
Environmental Hazards: Some hazards are out of our control, like roads that are slippery from ice or rain. Take particular care during icy conditions, high winds, or during the first rain after an extended dry period.
