According to the one report of the Association for Safe International Road Travel, about 2.35 million Americans are injured or disabled permanently in vehicle accidents each year, while 37,000 lost their lives. Another study claims the number to be almost 6 million across the country, and most of them happen in New York. The number is alarming. In fact, it would not be unfitting to say that the state has gained popularity for being one of the worst states to drive in the country. In this article below, I have put together a few common reasons for accidents in New York. If you are interested to learn about them, be sure to check out this article until the end.
Driver Distractions
In New York, distracted driver accidents remain the number one threat. It has been almost nineteen years since New York became the first state to ban the use of cells while driving. Still talking and texting behind the wheels is very common in the state. Accidents from distraction happen when drivers take their eyes off the road to do something else. Distraction can occur due to eating & drinking, using a cell phone, doing makeup, or talking to other car occupants, including pets. Therefore, to avoid accidents due to distraction, one should never use a phone, eat or drink, or get ready while driving.
Tailgating
When you drive a car, it is imperative to make sure that there is sufficient distance between your motor vehicle and the one in front of you. According to one report, over 35% of New York City’s car crashes were caused due to “tailgating,” when one vehicle follows another ahead of him too closely. Though tailgating another driver results in minor collisions in most cases, the damage can be severe if not taken precautions. In this case, New Yorkers consider hiring a Car accident lawyer to get compensation for their losses.
Speeding
One of the primary causes of NYC car accidents is speeding. When you are driving at an unsafe speed, you will not have much time to take quick action to avoid being in a vehicle accident. In addition to this, over speeding will not put only your life in danger, but also others on the road will be in danger as well. Unlike tailgating, the accidents that occur due to over speeding are much worse and severe, resulting in deaths in most cases.
Drunk Driving
In New York, alcohol plays a significant role in vehicle accidents. Since 1910, New York has drunk driving laws for citizens to follow. Unfortunately, even after a century, the state is still struggling against vehicle-related damages and mortalities. So, how to avoid these accidents? The answer is simple yet overlooked. One should never drive the vehicle when they are drunk or under the influence of prescription drugs. You might think of it as obvious advice, but no one ever pays attention to this. Moreover, if one really needs to go somewhere, he should consider booking a cab.
