Car Accidents in California
California consistently ranks among the states with the highest number of traffic accidents, with thousands of injury-related crashes occurring each year. Due to the state's high population and busy roadways, car accidents are a daily concern. Many collisions result from distracted driving, impaired driving, and speeding.
Understanding the potential risks on the road can help drivers stay alert. Below are some common causes of car accidents:
- Speeding – Exceeding speed limits reduces reaction time and increases the severity of crashes.
- Distracted Driving – Texting, eating, or using in-car technology can divert attention from the road.
- Impaired Driving – Alcohol or drug use significantly affects a driver’s ability to operate a vehicle safely.
- Reckless Lane Changes – Failing to signal or weaving through traffic can lead to dangerous collisions.
- Running Red Lights – Ignoring traffic signals can cause serious accidents, particularly at intersections.
