Causes of Galt Car Accidents
Alcohol and drug use is a major contributing factor in thousands of U.S. car accidents yearly. According to AlcoholAlert!, in 2008 13,846 U.S. car accident fatalities were alcohol-related. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration considers an accident to be alcohol-related if at least one driver involved in a crash has a blood alcohol concentration level of .01 or greater (the legal limit is .08). The effects of alcohol or drugs on a driver can be disastrous. Intoxicated drivers can become drowsy, lose their ability to focus and lose their ability to judge distance and reaction times.
Rubbernecking is another cause of car collisions. Rubbernecking is a term used to describe a driver who slows down to gawk at another car crash. When a driver reduces their speed suddenly, drivers following behind the original car cannot always stop in time to prevent a collision from occurring. Several studies on the causes of car accidents list rubbernecking as the number one reason why drivers lose focus of the road.
Additional causes of car accidents include speeding, road rage, bad weather conditions, failure to obey traffic signs or signals, auto defects, failure to yield the right of way, bad road conditions, tire blowouts and flawed road design.
