Causes of Car Wrecks
The main cause of almost all car crashes is negligence. Most accidents are caused by driver errors, and almost all of these could have been prevented.
Some common causes of car wrecks include the following:
- Distracted driving. Many drivers try to multitask and this comes at a cost. While most distractions involve cell phone use—primarily texting—eating, using the radio, grooming, and dealing with kids and pets can also cause drivers to be distracted.
- Drunk driving. All drivers are aware of the dangers of drunk driving, but not all care. Despite the availability of rideshare services, many people still drink and drive. However, this is dangerous, as alcohol affects judgment and reaction times, making accidents more likely.
- Speeding. Many drivers get a thrill from speeding, but going too fast makes it harder to control your vehicle. This is especially true in poor weather conditions.
- Reckless driving. Some drivers are careless while behind the wheel. Tailgating, racing, and switching lanes are dangerous behaviors that can easily cause an accident. Drivers need to be patient and not be so aggressive.
- Fatigue. Many drivers make the mistake of driving when they’re overly tired. They think they can make it to their destination, only to fall asleep behind the wheel. Even closing your eyes for a few seconds can lead to a serious accident.
- Road hazards. Items in the road can affect our driving experience. Potholes, debris, rocks, animals, and other objects can cause drivers to lose control and get into accidents.
- Weather conditions. Wintry weather such as ice, rain, and snow can impact the roadways. Drivers could slide or hydroplane, causing them to lose control and collide with other vehicles. It’s best to slow down in these conditions and even travel below the speed limit in order to stay safe.
- Defects. While not common, vehicles can sometimes be defective. Tires, brakes, steering, and engine parts may not work as intended, causing serious accidents. In these cases, the manufacturer can be held liable.
