What are some common causes of auto accidents in Arizona?
1. Aggressive drivers
Unfortunately, aggressive and negligent drivers populate Arizona roads, and these dangerous drivers put us all at risk. Trust your intuition if you encounter an aggressive driver, and try to steer clear. An aggressive driver may tailgate, flash their lights at you, make angry gestures, or literally try to steer you off the road. Report dangerous drivers to the police, but do not call while driving, as this can put you and others at risk on the road.
2. Problems with your vehicle
Faulty brakes, balding tires, and steering and suspension defects all contribute substantially to many Arizona traffic accidents. Your best defense here is to take your car in for regular servicing and to pay attention to recall announcements about your car's make and model.
3. Driver distraction
More and more drivers across Arizona are engaging in behaviors like texting while driving and talking on the cell phone while driving. These drivers are dangerous. Some studies suggest that driving while texting may even be more dangerous than driving under the influence of alcohol.
4. Roadway defects
Malfunctioning traffic control devices, inaccurate signage, traffic visibility problems, and poorly designed roadway surfaces all contribute significantly to car and truck accidents in Arizona. To protect yourself, plan out your driving routes – particularly if you plan to drive a long distance on unfamiliar highways. Listen to news and traffic reports, and pay attention to conditions as you drive, as the highway is a particularly dynamic environment.
How can you mitigate against these and other auto accident risks? And what can you do if you or a loved one has been involved in an accident?
Every time you get behind the wheel, you assume some risk. After all, life isn't risk free, and even if you adopt best practices and buy the safest car, you can't anticipate all dangers ahead.
