Causes of accidents in Chatham County, Georgia

There are many possible causes for auto accidents in Chatham County, Georgia , such as:
Driver Error - The most common reason for auto is driver error. Common errors that cause accidents include failure to yield the right of way, tail gating, driving at excessive speeds, unsafe passing, and disregard of traffic control devices.

Distractions – If the driver's attention is diverted from the road, the possibility of an accident are higher. Distractions may occur from outside of the automobile, such as when something on the side of the road attracts the driver's attention. Distractions can also occur inside the automobile, like when a driver attempts to read or put on makeup while driving, change CD's in the CD player, dials a cellular phone, or attempts to parent an upset or unruly child.

Intoxication – Individuals whose capacity to drive is affected because of the consumption of alcohol or drugs are more likely to cause vehicle accidents.

Bad Weather – Sometimes, bad weather conditions will result in an accident by interfering with visibility, diminishing traction on the road surface, or otherwise making it more difficult to drive the automobile. The driver must take into consideration the effects of the weather, like as strong cross-winds or slippery roads when driving. Sometimes the weather might result in an unexpected hazard, such as black ice or flash flooding, that may not be detected by a driver until it is too late to avoid that hazard.

Road Design - A badly designed roadway, intersection, or means of controlling traffic may sometimes contribute to an accident. Badly placed and poorly designed road signs or barriers may result in unnecessary injury when vehicles collide with them. Sometimes, such defects can result in liability for the governmental agency responsible for the design and maintenance of the roadway, although governmental immunity can apply in such cases.
