Distracted Driving Accidents in Buffalo
Distracted driving has become a serious threat to the safety of all drivers and their passengers. The moment you take your eyes off the road, you increase the risk for injury, disability and even death for yourself, other drivers, passengers and pedestrians. Simply put, distracted driving causes accidents.
Distracted driving comes in many forms but an Official US Government Website for Distracted Driving describes it as “any activity that could divert a person's attention away from the primary task of driving. All distractions endanger driver, passenger, and bystander safety.” These types of distractions include:
Whatever the form of distraction, they are all dangerous. For many experts though, texting while driving is considered the most dangerous type of distraction. According to a government driver distraction study , five seconds is the average time your eyes are off the road while texting. When traveling at 55mph, that's enough time to cover the length of a football field blindfolded. At those speeds, collisions can often be fatal. As a result, many states, including New York, have passed tough distracted driving laws, like NEW YORK STATE'S MOBILE PHONE and PORTABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE LAWS.
Despite these laws, distracted driving accidents in Buffalo still occur with startling regularity. These accidents can result in single or multi- auto accidents , truck accidents , motorcycle accidents , and at times there’s the possibility of a hit and run accident. In any case, these accidents are caused directly by driver negligence which could have been prevented.
