The Most Common Accidents
Distracted Driving:
One of the leading causes of accidents is distracted driving. Distracted driving includes:
- Eating
- Drinking
- Grooming
- Texting
Although we assume that distracted driving can be from using your cellphone, eating, drinking and grooming are other factors that cause accidents. When you’re driving you need to be focused on the road to avoid any potential accidents.
Intoxicated Driving:
Drinking and driving are extremely dangerous and can kill someone or even you. When drinking alcohol, the mind gets skewed from making the right decisions. With the creation of Uber and Lyft, people can avoid drinking and driving and use the resources offered to them. Another form of distracted driving is driving while high. Doing drugs and then driving is completely unsafe and it’s important to make smart and safe choices before getting behind the wheel.
Speeding:
Did you know an estimated 8,730 people died in motor vehicle crashes in the first three months of 2021? Although you may feel like you’re in a rush, it’s always better to be safe than sorry. Follow the speed limit signs to avoid a potential crash.
