Driving comes with a few dangers. To help keep the drivers in your fleet as safe as possible, read this post by Fleet Clean USA in Dallas, TX to learn about common reasons for car crashes on the road.


How to Avoid Common Reasons for Car Crashes

The Association for Safe International Road Travel estimates that there are 37, 000 motor vehicle deaths in America each year. While this is a horrifying number, it doesn’t account for severe injuries and a slew of other problems that can arise because of car crashes.

To help keep your fleet safe when they drive, learn about the most common reasons car crashes happen, and how you can avoid them.

Distracted Driving

After driving for some time, it can become a pretty boring and monotonous activity. However, taking your sight away from the road, even for a second, can be incredibly dangerous. This is because the panorama can change dramatically in an instant, and you need to pay attention so you can react to the arising circumstances in an adequate manner.

That’s why it is highly recommended that you avoid using your cell phone, tuning the radio, or doing anything else that could make you distracted and in an accident.

Disobeying the Traffic Signs

For some reason, some people think that traffic signs are merely suggestions of how you should drive down the road (especially if they’ve cruised down that road a few times over already and think they know it pretty well).

Still, the red lights, the speed limits, the ‘Stop’ signs, and other traffic signs are there for a very set purpose: keeping all vehicles and people on the road safe. That’s why going against them can end up in a disastrous car accident that could have been easily avoided.

A Malfunctioning Vehicle

Technical malfunctions can also be to blame in a few car accidents. For that reason, it is of the utmost importance that you take good care of your fleet. Take your vehicles to a professional mechanic with regularity so that they can rule out any problems with the brakes, engine, tires, the battery, or another component, that could make driving the vehicle all the more difficult.

Not only that, but be sure to keep your fleet as clean as you can, so that the dirt, gunk, and other damaging agents that could be on your vehicle, won’t eat away at it and affect its performance.

Bad Weather Conditions

No, you can’t control the weather, no matter how much you may want to. However, what you can control is how you drive when the weather conditions aren’t the best (for example, when it’s raining or snowing).

As you may know, when the floor is wet, tires lose grip on the floor, meaning that they can slide off a lot more easily. Not only that, but that uneasiness can interfere with a vehicle’s braking system.

Teach your drivers to drive at a slower pace, and to respect a greater distance between themselves and the vehicles around when it’s raining, so they can avoid crashing.

Driving Under the Influence

When you drink or use other drugs, you’re not as quick to react to situations, your judgment is impaired, your senses get numb, and you don’t think as clearly. All of this combined means that driving under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol is a terrible idea.

Ensure your drivers know not to do this. If they end up drinking or getting high, remind them to wait until they sober up, so they don’t put their safety, your vehicle, and other people and objects at risk.

Drowsy Driving

Last but not least, you should warn your drivers about the dangers of drowsy driving. Being too tired when driving can cause them to fall asleep behind the wheel and lose total control of the vehicle they’re maneuvering.

Needless to say, being a driver entails long hours on the road. However, trusting sugary or caffeinated drinks or treats may be a big mistake.

If they don’t want to have their senses hindered, they should only drive when they’ll be able to focus on the task. If they’re feeling tired and sleepy, they should stop somewhere safe to rest, or they should share the burden of driving with someone else.
