Unfortunately, fatal car crashes are a significant problem. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, over 30,000 people die every year in the United States as a result of traffic accidents. These accidents have many causes: poor driving conditions, distracted driving, drunk driving, or just plain carelessness. Occasionally, an accident may be the result of something beyond anyone’s control, such as a driver having a medical emergency. What is abundantly clear is that, when you are driving, you can’t control the actions of the drivers with whom you share the road. However, by remaining alert and focused on the task at hand at all times, you may be able to avoid accidents when other vehicles act in surprising ways.
