Nashville Personal Injury Lawyer Reports On Preventable Tractor-Trailer Roadway Depature Crash
Avoid Distractions
As an experienced Tennessee tractor-trailer accident attorney I can tell you that it takes less than 2 seconds of taking your eyes and mind off of your driving before you can lose control of whatever vehicle you are driving and crash.
Reference a recent Nashville tractor-trailer crash the cause of which was the driver dropping his cell phone on the floor of his cab. He reached down to pick it up and just that fast he had departed the roadway, was unable to regain control of his vehicle and he hit a utility pole, snapping it in half. Fortunately no one was injured.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration driver inattention is the leading factor in most crashes. Nearly 80 percent of crashes and 65 percent of near-crashes involved some form of driver inattention within three seconds before the event. Primary causes of driver inattention are distracting activities, such as cell phone use, and drowsiness.
