According to the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles, there were over 300,000 reported crashes in recent years, resulting in numerous injuries and fatalities. These incidents not only impact the individuals directly involved but also have broader implications for public safety and traffic management.

Understanding the common causes of car accidents can help in prevention and awareness:

Distracted Driving: Activities such as texting, eating, or using in-car technologies divert attention from the road, increasing the likelihood of accidents.
Speeding: Exceeding speed limits or driving too fast for conditions reduces reaction time and increases the severity of crashes.
Impaired Driving: Operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs significantly impairs judgment and coordination, leading to dangerous situations.
Weather Conditions: Rain, snow, and fog can create hazardous driving conditions, contributing to accidents if drivers do not adjust their driving accordingly.
Failure to Yield: Not yielding the right of way at intersections or during lane changes can result in collisions.
Tailgating: Following other vehicles too closely reduces the ability to stop in time to avoid a collision.
