  7. Human factors: • Human factors in vehicle collisions include anything related to drivers and other road users that may contribute to a collision. Examples include driver behavior, visual and auditory acuity, decision-making ability, and reaction speed. https://www.prestigelaw.com/practices/car-accidents/

  8. Sleep deprivation: • Various factors such as fatigue or sleep deprivation might increase the risk, or numbers of hours driving might increase the risk of an accident. https://www.prestigelaw.com/practices/car-accidents/

  9. Sleep deprivation:

  10. Distraction: • Research suggests that the driver's attention is affected by distracting sounds such as conversations and Operating a mobile phone while driving . Many jurisdictions now restrict or outlaw the use of some types of phone within the car. Recent research conducted by British scientists suggests that music can also have an effect. https://www.prestigelaw.com/practices/car-accidents/

  11. Distraction:

  12. Motor vehicle speed: • The evidence shows the risk of having a crash is increased both for vehicles traveling slower than the average speed, and for those traveling above the average speed. • The risk of being injured increases exponentially with speeds much faster than the medium speed. • Most crashes related to speed involve speed too fast for the conditions. • More research is needed to determine the effectiveness of traffic calming. https://www.prestigelaw.com/practices/car-accidents/

  13. Motor vehicle speed:

  14. Physical impairment: • Poor Eyesightandphysical impairment, with many jurisdictions setting simple sight tests and requiring appropriate vehicle modifications before being allowed to drive. https://www.prestigelaw.com/practices/car-accidents/

  15. Physical impairment:

  16. Avoidance: • A collision avoidance system also known as a pre-crash system, forward collision warning system, or collision mitigation system, is an advanced driver-assistance system designed to prevent or reduce the severity of a collision. ... Pedestrian detection can also be a feature of these types of systems. https://www.prestigelaw.com/practices/car-accidents/

  17. Pull into traffic slowly: • Stop, Look, Listen. Be aware of blind spots, including those in rear view mirrors and behind windshield pillars or highway road signs. Also, when at an intersection making a right-hand turn, look both directions at least twice before proceeding. Vehicles can appear almost out of nowhere very quickly, so exercise caution when pulling into a busy intersection. https://www.prestigelaw.com/practices/car-accidents/

  18. Pull into traffic slowly:

  19. Look backwards when backing out: • Fender benders in parking lots are all too common, so look out for cars leaving parking spaces. Don't depend on mirrors alone -- physically look over your right shoulder while steering to alleviate blind spots mirrors can create. https://www.prestigelaw.com/practices/car-accidents/

  20. Look backwards when backing out:

  21. Watch for red light runners: • Count to three before entering an intersection on a green light. Look both ways and be sure no one is trying to speed through a yellow light. Exercise caution when passing semis. Truck drivers have a large blind spot on their right-hand side, so be especially careful when driving next to an 18-wheeler. If you cannot see the truck's side mirrors, the truck driver cannot see you. https://www.prestigelaw.com/practices/car-accidents/

  22. Do not Tailgate: •  Leave a three-second cushion between you and the car in front of you and begin your journey early enough so you don't speed to make up time. As tempting as it may be when in a hurry, tailgating is a major cause of accidents. https://www.prestigelaw.com/practices/car-accidents/
