Car Accidents in Utah
Each year in Utah, tens of thousands of vehicle crashes result in injury, and cities like Orem often see increased traffic volumes along major roads like Main Street. From distracted driving to sudden braking in congested areas, collisions can happen in seconds—and leave lasting impacts.
One factor that contributes to many collisions is aggressive driving. Here’s how this behavior increases danger for everyone on the road:
- Tailgating: Following too closely doesn’t allow enough stopping time. If the car in front brakes suddenly, a rear-end crash becomes nearly unavoidable.
- Frequent Lane Changes: Swerving between lanes to get ahead increases the chance of sideswipe accidents and confuses other drivers trying to maintain safe distances.
- Running Red Lights or Stop Signs: Impatient drivers may try to beat lights or roll through stops, often leading to dangerous T-bone or intersection crashes.
- Excessive Speeding: Aggressive drivers tend to ignore speed limits, which increases crash force and reduces reaction time—especially in pedestrian-heavy or urban areas.
- Road Rage Behavior: Shouting, gesturing, or intentionally cutting off others only escalates risk and can lead to preventable collisions.
