Common Causes of Car Accidents in Missouri
Car accidents in Missouri happen for various reasons, with common causes including distracted driving, speeding, and alcohol impairment. Distracted driving—from texting to eating—significantly impacts reaction times, increasing accident risk. Speeding is another primary factor, reducing a driver’s control and worsening the impact of crashes.
Other frequent causes include reckless driving, tailgating, and failing to yield, especially at intersections. Weather conditions also contribute; rain, fog, and snow make driving more dangerous and increase collision risks. Driving under the influence (DUI) remains a leading cause of fatal crashes, with Missouri enforcing strict penalties for drunk drivers.
Understanding these causes can help you stay vigilant and take preventive steps, like keeping a safe following distance, limiting distractions, and adjusting your driving speed to match road conditions.
