Tennessee motorcyclists have likely considered what they might do if they get into a situation that requires quick braking. Will you be able to stop in time? Will you end up skidding or falling from your bike? These are all reasonable questions. Fortunately, correct braking can actually keep you safe and lower your chances of crashing, rather than add to them.
Common causes for accidents not relating to alcohol
Drivers in Tennessee and across the entire country are aware of the fact that drunk driving is dangerous and can end lives. But what about the other common road hazards? Here's a look at some of the top causes for crashes that don't involve alcohol.
Do drivers share the road with you?
Motorcyclists in Tennessee often face more hardships than others on the road due to the small size of their vehicles. Those who get into accidents will fortunately have Pryor, Priest & Harber to lean on.
Is that truck about to jackknife?
Tennessee residents may not be able to predict every single potential crash that can happen on the roads. However, there are some signs that can help you determine if trucks are more likely to get into an accident, so you can steer clear.
Fiery head-on collision kills three
Every person in Tennessee knows that car accidents can and do happen. However, this is not what most people think of every time they get into a vehicle nor should they. Everyone deserves the ability to believe that all drivers will make wise choices and they will arrive at their intended destinations safely. When this does not happen, it is reasonable for people to want to seek answers to questions and some sort of compensation for their losses or injuries.
Drunk driving problems persist in Tennessee
It has been many decades now since large-scale efforts to raise awareness about the dangers of drunk driving in Tennessee have been initiated. Advocacy groups like Mothers Against Drunk Driving and Students Against Drunk Driving along with local governments and law enforcement entities are just some of the groups behind this awareness. However, even with these efforts and laws that might be stricter than they were in years past, too many people continue to be injured or killed by drunk drivers.
Why are fixed object collisions sometimes fatal?
When you think about the fatal car accidents that occur in Tennessee, you may immediately think of collisions with multiple vehicles. A single-vehicle collision can be deadly, though, if a car crashes into a tree or other fixed objects.
Motorcycle accidents and alcohol
While Tennessee residents may know it is dangerous to drink alcohol before driving their car, they may not always consider the hazards of riding a motorcycle while intoxicated. It is important for people to understand that they may be involved in a fatal collision if they drink before getting on their motorcycle.
