Causes of accidents in Savannah GA

Causes of accidents in Savannah GA

There are numerous likely causes for auto accidents in Savannah GA , including:
Driver Error - The most common cause of auto is driver error. Common errors which result in accidents include not yielding the right of way, tail gating, over speeding, unsafe passing, and disregard of traffic control devices.

Distractions – When a driver's attention becomes diverted from the road, the chances of an accident increase. Distractions may occur from outside of the automobile, such as when something on the side of the road attracts the driver's attention. Distractions may also occur inside the automobile, like where 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 – Motorists whose capacity to drive is impaired as a result of the consumption of alcohol or drugs are more likely to cause motor vehicle accidents.

Bad Weather – At times, 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 vehicle. The driver should take into consideration the effects of the weather, such as strong cross-winds or slippery roads when driving. At times the weather will cause an unexpected hazard, such as black ice or flash flooding, which may not be detected by the driver until it is too late to avoid the hazard.

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