Common Causes of Manning Auto Accidents
While vehicle malfunction or product failure do occasionally cause very serious auto accidents, most auto accidents are caused by driver error, inattention or inexperience.
For younger drivers, inexperience is often a frequent cause of auto accidents. Making unsafe driving maneuvers, following too closely or driving too quickly for conditions are common causes of auto accident involving inexperienced drivers.
Distracted driving is also a huge problem and a common cause of many auto accidents. We’ve all heard of auto accidents caused by:
- Eating while driving
- Using a cell phone while driving
- Texting while driving
- Changing the radio while driving
- Looking for something in a bag or purse while driving
- Personal grooming (brushing hair or teeth, shaving, and putting on makeup) while driving
The best thing each of us can do as drivers is to pay attention while we are behind the wheel. Everything else can surely wait until we can pull over safely or have reached our destination.
