Though manufacturer defects and adverse conditions may play a primary role in many East Haven car accidents, the vast majority of automobile crashes are as a result of human error. The best way to ensure that East Haven roads are safe for all drivers and passengers is to be aware of the most significant causes of car crash, and make a mental note to avoid participating in any such activities. Here we will take a look at the top three causes of car crash in East Haven.
Impaired driving
Driving while impaired is a category which covers many kinds of dangerous driving states and behaviors. The most common kinds of impaired driving include driving while intoxicated and driving while drowsy. Everyone knows that a motorist must be 100% sober and 100% alert in order to be best prepared to operate a motor vehicle. Considering the fact that driving under the influence of drugs, and driving while drowsy, can both impair the driver to the same extent as alcohol, it is advisable that all East Haven drivers commit to avoid driving while impaired
Speeding
Many people think of speeding as something that is primarily done on the highways. But in fact speeding in residential neighborhoods and commercial areas can be every bit as dangerous, if not more so, than speeding on the interstate. The next time you find yourself going significantly over the speed limit, reduce your speed. Not only will you save gas, but you may save someone’s life.
Driving distracted
Driving while distracted is attracting a lot of media attention due to its prevalence and the dangers associated with it. Often times people feel that they simply cannot pull themselves away from such distractions as cell phone usage and eating while driving. But, drivers must realize that whatever the distracting activity is – it can wait. As an increasing number of states pass anti-distracted driving laws, the public will hopefully continue to become aware of its dangers and cease to engage in these dangerous activities.
