Road Accidents Are Preventable

Accidents on the road are preventable if drivers did everything they reasonably could to prevent it. Reckless and distracted driving are leading causes of most motor vehicle accidents. For motorcyclists, the failure of other drivers to detect and recognize motorcycle riders often leads to a traffic collision, especially with left-hand turns. Other negligent driving behaviors include:

• Unsafe lane changes
• Running a red light or stop sign
• Speeding
• Drunk driving
• Driver fatigue

Take your time when driving and double-check to see that the road is clear for you to pass. Failing to do so often leads to catastrophic road accidents. By driving defensively, you can avoid hitting someone, such as a pedestrian or a motorcyclist.
