Did you know that most auto accidents happen about 25 miles from home?
As drivers navigate the roads and get used to them, they may feel overconfident, allowing themselves to be more distracted and take risks that they might not otherwise have taken on less-traveled roads. Some drivers take this opportunity to check their phones, do their daily grooming, and do all kinds of other things that shouldn’t happen behind the wheel of a car. In addition, drivers are more likely to drive intoxicated the closer they are to home, assuming they can navigate their vehicle safely on a familiar road, increasing the likelihood of crashes in their neighborhood or nearby.
Car accidents are unpredictable. However, drivers should always be focused; it is no different, even when driving around the neighborhood. Regardless of where an accident occurs, a car crash can result in painful and debilitating injuries, so it’s important to seek medical attention even if you don’t feel hurt.
