Common Factors Leading to Nighttime Accidents:
- Impaired Driving: Alcohol or drug use often increases during evening hours.
- Distracted Driving: Drivers may focus on their phones or other distractions instead of the road.
- Speeding: With less traffic at night, some drivers exceed speed limits, reducing reaction time.
- Failure to Yield: Misjudging the flow of traffic at intersections can lead to collisions.
Tips for Safe Driving at Night
- Reduce Speed: Drive slower at intersections to give yourself more time to react.
- Stay Focused: Avoid distractions like phones or eating while driving.
