20 Ways to Prevent a Car Accident
It happens quickly. The brake lights in front of you shine, you slam your foot, your brakes squeal, and your body is jolted forward as your car slams into the vehicle in front of you.
Getting into a car accident can lead to injuries, financial struggles, and even emotional turmoil. Is there something you could have done to prevent this from happening? While this may not always be the case, many times auto accidents can be prevented.
At Accident Care and Treatment Center, Inc. we would like to help you understand some of the main causes of car accidents and how you can prevent them. While some of these car accident causes may seem obvious, they are reminders of what to pay attention to so you can be more aware of your surroundings.
We hope our Top 20 Causes of Car Accidents can be your guide towards a lifetime of car accident prevention.
1. Distracted Driving
The number one cause of car accidents is not drunk driving, speeding, or running a red light. It is distracted driving. Distracted driving includes anything that takes your attention off the road. With all the technology we have on our cell phones, texting, changing songs, and talking on the phone, we are constantly distracted.
A few other distractions include eating food, assisting kids in the backseat, and picking up items that fell on the floor.
2. Speeding
Speed limit signs are in place for a reason. They are to inform you of the safest speed to travel on that particular road. This could be due to higher traffic, sharp turns, uneven road, and many other factors. The faster you drive, the slower your reaction time will be if you need to prevent an auto accident and the longer it will take to stop your car.
