How Do Holiday-Season Car Accidents Typically Happen?

There are many potential reasons for holiday-season car accidents that occur in and around Columbus. Some of the most common reasons include the following:

• Negligent motor vehicle operation – During the holiday season, roadways are typically very crowded. Motor vehicle drivers who violate state traffic laws by speeding, running stops signs and red lights, and weaving in and out of heavy traffic significantly increase their chances of bringing about a collision with another motor vehicle. 
• Distracted driving – During the holiday season, many drivers are in a hurry to shop or get to a relative’s house. They may also have small children in their car who are rowdy and need frequent correcting. If a driver takes his or her eyes off the road for just a second or two, that amount of time may be just enough for a car accident to occur. 
• Drunk and drugged driving – During the holiday season, many people attend holiday parties where alcoholic beverages are served. Since alcohol slows down a person’s nervous system – and delays reaction time – intoxicated and drugged driving can lead to a motor vehicle accident.
