Auto Collisions

Common Causes Of Collisions

Driver Distraction
A common cause of automobile accidents on the crowded roads of Atlanta,Georgia. Virtually any activity that diverts the attention of a driver from the road is dangerous. Activities like eating or drinking can lead to serious injury. Cell phone use is especially dangerous. Talking, texting, or checking email while driving may lead to an accident. Also, it is illegal for a vehicle operator to use a cell phone unless it is hands-free.

Driver Fatigue
Accidents caused by driver fatigue are easily preventable. Exhausted drivers must rest. Turning on the radio, drinking caffeine, and opening a window are not remedies for lack of sleep.

Drugs or Alcohol
Intoxicated drivers injure and kill thousands of innocent people each year. There is no excuse for causing an accident while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

Speeding
Speeding greatly increases the chance of injury to yourself or other drivers.

Failure to Obey Traffic Signals
A failure to obey traffic lights, stop signs, yield signs, and other traffic signs and signals often lead to injury or death.
