Car Accidents in Utah
According to the Utah state government, thousands of Utahns are injured each year in crashes caused by distracted driving, poor road conditions, and driver error. Utah continues to invest in road safety, yet car accidents remain a pressing concern. Most collisions happen during daylight hours and often at intersections, which require extra caution.
As drivers try to stay safe on the road, it helps to understand how to avoid common driving errors that often lead to crashes:
- Following Too Closely: Tailgating is one of the most common causes of rear-end collisions. Maintaining a safe following distance gives drivers time to react to sudden stops or changes in traffic flow.
- Running Red Lights or Stop Signs: Failing to yield at intersections causes a significant number of T-bone crashes. These can be particularly severe because they often involve side impacts.
- Improper Lane Changes: Swerving between lanes without using signals or checking blind spots puts everyone at risk. Always use mirrors, look over your shoulder, and signal well in advance.
- Driving While Distracted: Texting or using a phone while driving slows reaction time and reduces awareness. Keeping full attention on the road helps prevent errors that lead to accidents.
- Speeding in Residential Areas: Many drivers underestimate the dangers of speeding in neighborhoods, where children and pedestrians are nearby. Lower speeds provide more time to react and avoid a crash.
