5 Silly Ways Car Drivers End Up Crashing Into Others

5 Silly Ways Car Drivers End Up Crashing Into Others

Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Pinterest Email

Car accidents do not always result from reckless driving and severe weather conditions. At times, the causes of these accidents are surprisingly silly yet very serious and concerning. As car accident attorneys observe, these “silly” actions can lead to significant damage to drivers themselves and other motorists.

Here are five silly ways drivers end up in accidents and their possible legal consequences.

1. They Are Distracted By Food And Drink

For many drivers, a takeaway coffee or snack seems harmless. However, this is far from the truth because eating or drinking while driving can be catastrophic. Eating and drinking while driving creates a distraction that takes the driver’s concentration off the goal. According to NHTSA research findings, eating and drinking while driving increased the rate of collision by 80%.

Legal Implication: A driver who is involved in an accident because of eating and drinking when driving can face legal implications for negligence since they failed to exercise reasonable caution.

2. Grooming While Driving

Unfortunately, the habit of applying makeup and styling hair while driving is more common than we might want to acknowledge. When you multitask while driving, your concentration on the road reduces drastically, affecting your reaction time, which leads to preventable accidents. A driver applying eyeliner at a red light can cause a head-on collision when traffic resumes. This shows the dangers of not paying attention on the road in delicate situations.

Legal Ramifications: When you groom and drive, you are actively neglecting your duty of care in that your actions endanger other road users. In case an accident results from this negligence, a personal injury claim can be brought against the offender.

3. Pets Can Bring Distractions When Driving

Pet movement in the car while driving can momentarily distract the driver from concentrating on the road, which can, in turn, lead to accidents. An AAA study found that 31% of drivers admitted to being distracted by pets.

Legal Perspective: When an accident is caused by a pet, the driver is legally held liable for the damages caused. This detail can serve as evidence of negligence.

4. Trying To Pick Up Dropped Items

When drivers reach for a dropped phone or wallet while driving, they lose focus, which can lead to accidents. In reality, a brief distraction can lead to a significant accident that could leave people nursing severe injuries.

For example, a driver reaching for dropped keys can swerve into oncoming traffic, causing an untimely head-on collision. This could be disastrous, not just for the driver but also for the person they collided with.

Legal perspective: The court and jury might look at such a behavior as reckless, thus increasing the driver’s liability. If the victim of such an accident can demonstrate what happened before the accident, the driver might be in legal trouble.

5. Driving While Daydreaming

Daydreaming, or highway hypnosis, occurs when a driver falls into a monotonous stretch that reduces their focus and concentration on the road, missing important traffic signals or stopped vehicles. This type of distraction is often referred to as cognitive distraction. Like other accidents on this list, the consequences can be severe, sometimes even fatal.

Conclusion

These seemingly minor behaviors can have huge consequences for the driver and other road users. By maintaining attention and concentration on the road, you can avoid distractions that can directly lead to accidents. Maintaining a clear head and avoiding all forms of distractions can allow you to focus on reaching your destination safely while significantly minimizing your legal needs. By prioritizing safety on the road, you can save lives and minimize legal liability.
