Reckless Driving

Most Common Reckless Driving Behaviors

Reckless driving is one of the most common causes of injury in the United States, and the Massachusetts area is no exception to this unfortunate trend. Sadly, numerous innocent drivers are involved in car accidents caused by reckless drivers on a daily basis, and have to face not just physical injury, but medical costs as well. For this reason, many car accident victims choose to pursue compensation for the damages they’ve suffered.

Top Reckless Driving Behaviors

Dozens of different driving behaviors could be determined “reckless” in a personal injury case, but some seem to be more common than others. For instance, the following represent some of the most common reckless driving behaviors reported annually:

Speeding
Tailgating
Not using turn signals
Not yielding right-of-way
Not looking at blind spots
Running stop signs
Running red lights
Distracted driving
Drunk driving

These behaviors, each dangerous in its own right, are responsible for the majority of reckless driving accidents across the country, and leave many innocent drivers with serious injuries and medical costs.
