Leading Causes of Auto Accidents Requiring El Mirage Auto Body Repair

• Distracted driving. With cell phones having become such a major part of our lives, it’s no wonder that distracted driving has become one of the biggest causes of car accidents with drivers commonly losing control or being unable to properly react because they are reading a text, searching the web, or dialing a number. Other common causes of distracted driving include eating, applying makeup, and talking without focusing on the road. While you can’t stop other drivers from doing these things, you can prevent your own distracted driving from playing a role in an accident by always staying sharp and paying attention to the road.
• Sleepy and drunk driving. Believe it or not, fatigued drivers are just as dangerous as drunk drivers, as both lose their ability to properly act and react. Fatigued driving is especially common and dangerous for RV drivers. So avoid those drinks and don’t hit the road unless you’re well-rested.
• Bad maintenance. Big accidents can often can be avoided by following simple maintenance guidelines. For example, a tire blowout can have major repercussions on a busy highway, but you can avoid that altogether by getting your tires replaced when recommended, ensuring they are always at the proper PSI, and having them regularly rotated.
