What Causes a Car Accident in California?
An auto accident can happen for many different reasons, including inclement weather, an animal crossing the road, or even insufficient street lighting. While traffic accidents can happen for reasons far beyond the driver’s control, most auto accidents happen as a result of another person’s negligence. The following are just some of the most common causes of auto accidents in California.
- Speeding
Every year, speeding continues to be one of the top causes of car accidents in California. According to the National Traffic Safety Administration, speeding accounts for more than one-fourth of all traffic-related deaths. Whenever a driver is speeding, this reduces his or her ability to safely maneuver the vehicle and it also increases the risk of serious injury when in an accident.
- Driving While Impaired
The Governor’s Highway Safety Association has recently declared that in about one-third of all traffic-related deaths, alcohol impairment was a key contributing factor. Driving while impaired is a serious issue that leads to countless injuries and deaths each year.
- Driving While Distracted
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention states that driving while distracting means doing anything that diverts the driver’s attention off the road ahead. This means doing any task such as using a cell phone, eating, talking, or grooming while driving. Unfortunately, distractions are bountiful and for this reason, driving while distracted is one of the main causes of accidents in California.
- Driving While Sleep-Deprived
According to the National Safety Council, about half of all U.S. drivers will regularly get behind the wheel feeling tired. The agency also reports that about 20 percent of these drivers have actually fallen asleep while driving. Sadly, driving while fatigued is common and it leads to unnecessary accidents each year.
