Speeding, Bad Weather, and DUI: Main Causes of Auto Collisions

Over the years of representing motorists injured in automobile accidents, we have observed three major factors that contribute to accidents: high speed, bad weather, and driving under the influence. We often try to remind our clients that more speed means less control. This means if you are driving slowly, you are less likely to have an auto accident. The reaction time of any driver decreases as he or she accumulates speed, and this can make a driver susceptible to collision. We strongly advise you to observe and follow the speed limit signs as posted.

Bad weather also plays a role in accidents. Weather such as rain, fog, and other elements that may limit visibility, increasing the likelihood of accidents on the roadway. Finally, it has been shown that driving under the influence is the leading cause of accidents for Americans between fifteen and twenty-four years of age. Drugs and alcohol combined with the inexperience of young drivers often result in tragic consequences. It is our view that younger drivers cannot be reminded and educated enough on the consequences of drinking and driving.
