Common Causes of Traffic Accidents in New Jersey
Accidents like the one reported
in Millville highlight the dangers faced by drivers and vulnerable road users such as scooter riders and pedestrians. Some of the most common causes of traffic collisions across New Jersey include:
- Distracted driving: Using a mobile phone, eating, or adjusting in-car devices can divert attention from the road.
- Speeding: Driving over the speed limit or too fast for conditions reduces reaction time and increases crash severity.
- Failure to yield: Many serious collisions occur at intersections when drivers fail to yield the right of way.
- Impaired driving: Alcohol and drugs significantly impair judgment and motor skills, raising the likelihood of severe crashes.
- Low visibility conditions: Poor lighting, fog, or rain can make it harder to see other vehicles, cyclists, or scooter riders.
By practicing defensive driving and remaining alert, many of these incidents can be avoided. Unfortunately, traffic crashes can cause devastating consequences, including fatalities, severe injuries, and financial hardship.
