Vehicle Collision Safety in Manhattan
Accidents involving multiple vehicles are a common concern in busy Manhattan districts, where traffic congestion and high pedestrian volumes increase risk. Factors that often contribute to vehicle collisions include:
- Driver distraction, such as cellphone use or adjusting GPS devices. Even a momentary lapse in attention can result in serious collisions.
- Speeding or failure to obey traffic signals. Excessive speed reduces reaction time, increasing the likelihood and severity of accidents.
- Poor visibility, particularly at night or during adverse weather. Drivers may misjudge distances or fail to see other vehicles or pedestrians, leading to collisions.
- Sudden lane changes or misjudged turns at intersections. Unexpected maneuvers can catch other drivers off guard, making accidents more likely.
