Roadway Hazards Leading to Auto Accidents

There are practically an infinite number of dangers on the roads that could lead to a crash. A few of them are so well known and so common that they are important to know in order to enhance one's overall safe driving. Here are some things to watch out for while driving to be safer.

  1. Road Condition Accident

    Debris in Road Falling From Truck. An obstacle is created when debris of any sort including but not limited to shovels, ladders, furniture, fences, gravel, and power tools, fall off of a truck. When encountered suddenly on the street or freeway, one must act quickly do decide to navigate around the object. This often leads to the driver steering into other traffic, thereby causing a collision. Protect yourself. Always keep a look out for debris that create obstacles to give the maximum time to react.
  2. Driver Opening Door into Traffic. Another common hazardous condition involves oblivious people who open their door on the side of the lane when it is not safe. Oftentimes it appears they were never taught that this can be very dangerous. When it suddenly happens in front of you, it is sometimes too late to not strike the door. This can cause loss of automobile control. When there is time to change lanes, it is often a near miss and can result in loss of control of the automobile or worse, a crash into a truck, van or bus. Keep an eye out for poor habits by motor vehicle operators opening their passenger side doors while parked at the roadside.
  3. Loose Pets & Stray Animals Running in the Streets. Quite often animals and sadly, loose pets, get free and run into the street. Vehicle operators must be vigilant and look out to protect these innocent creatures from harm. Unfortunately, many cause harm to people when forced to avoid hitting an innocent animal on the loose. Swerving to avoid the animal, the operator drives right into another car or pedestrian nearby. Trying to avoid hitting the animal is praiseworthy and moral, but be sure to check surroundings to not cause more and worse loss of life.
  4. Waterlogged and/or Slick Roadways. Tire traction is important to safety. When it is lost, the driver will lose control of their automobile and hit someone else, causing injury to all involved. Be sure to keep your tires maintained and to slow down in the rain, after the rain and when water is left on the road.
  5. Stop and Go Traffic Conditions. Last but not least, stop and go! This is an especially dangerous condition because it is so prevalent in Southern California. A rear end collision is usually the result when someone is careless in stop and go. If they are not paying attention to stopping cars, either because of texting, daydreaming, tiredness or something else, there car goes right into the back of the person in front of them. Always check rearview mirrors and slow down early to protect against negligent distracted drivers, especially when things are moving slow!

While not a comprehensive list of problems one might encounter, the above is good to start thinking about your driving. Enhance your problem solving skills by being on the lookout for problems and going through steps on how to survive them.
