Drivers must exercise a reasonable amount of care and operate their cars safely. Yet when drivers take this responsibility lightly, it can cause dangerous situations for everyone on the road. In some cases, taking the same route home every day, long stretches of highways, or routine trips to run errands may lead to drivers becoming complacent and less aware of their surroundings. The routine of the everyday driving trip can lead to drivers forgetting to thoroughly check their blind spots before switching lanes, zone out when traveling through intersections or making turns, or drive at an excessive speed. Other times, drivers can be distracted by cell phones, radios, and conversations with passengers. They may divert their eyes from the road or be focused on something other than safety.
A careless driver can cause serious automobile accidents. Their lack of focus and attention for those around them puts everyone in harm’s way. A careless driver who is texting or changing the radio station may slam into the rear of a car stopped at an intersection. If they are talking on the phone, they may not see a school zone or pedestrians trying to cross the street. Or they may make a cursory glance over their shoulder to check their blind spots and hit another vehicle as they change lanes. When drivers fail to operate their cars safely, people can be hurt. Injuries can range from cuts and bruises, lacerations, burns, broken bones, or damage to the head, neck, or back.
