Car Accidents

A car accident can be quite a harrowing experience. Many things can go wrong to cause an accident. And anything can happen in an accident. Whether it is speeding or reckless driving or even just the lack of attention paid to the task of driving, accidents happen everyday to people like you and me.

Speeding can be one of the more dangerous ways that an accident can occur. With today's high performance cars such as the Chevy Camaro or Corvette, or the smaller foreign cars like the Nissan 300z or the Toyota Supra, it can be all too easy to step on the pedal and watch the speedometer climb. It's dangerous though and many accidents on the roads today are caused by speeding.

But more and more these days, car accidents are caused by people not paying attention. In some cases, the driver was merely changing the channel on their new XM satellite radio or OnStar device or talking on their cell phones. In some cities like New York or Chicago, hands free cell phone activity is the only way you can use a cell phone while driving.

An alert and cautious driver can avoid most situations that cause accidents on the roads. Be sure to watch your blind spots and assume that everyone is about to do something stupid. Anticipating dumb maneuvers is a surefire way to avoid them. When you see someone turning into your lane, assume that they don't see you and when they really don't, you are prepared.
