How Do Most Car Accidents Happen in Stone Mountain?

Crashes can occur for any number of reasons, including dangerous roadways, inclement weather, and equipment failure. Most car accidents are caused by some type of driver error. Some examples of driver error include the following:

• Distracted driving: Driver distraction has become a major problem on U.S. roadways in the digital age. Drivers who are texting or talking on cell phones, checking GPS systems, adjusting stereos, or otherwise distracted put others on the road at risk. Safe driving requires having your eyes on the road, your hands on the wheel, and your attention on operating the vehicle.
• Impaired driving: Drug and alcohol consumption can significantly impair driving ability. In a recently reported year, 11,654 people were killed in crashes involving alcohol-impaired drivers on U.S. roadways, accounting for 30% of all traffic deaths, as reported by the CDC.
• Aggressive driving: This combination of dangerous driving behaviors may involve excessive speeding, weaving in and out of traffic, running red lights or stop signs, tailgating, and cutting other drivers off. Aggressive drivers are a danger to themselves and everyone sharing the road.
• Drowsy driving: Sleepy drivers run the risk of falling asleep at the wheel. Drowsiness can be caused by lack of sleep, prescription or over-the-counter medications, and too many hours on the road without rest.
• Teen drivers: In a recent year, approximately 2,800 teens ages 13 to 19 were killed, and 227,000 were injured in traffic crashes in the U.S., as stated by CDC. Teen drivers ages 16 to 19 have a fatal crash rate nearly three times as high as drivers ages 20 and older. Teens lack driving experience and are more likely to speed, tailgate, or become distracted than older drivers.
