1-800 CAR WRECK Releases New Statistics Regarding Auto Accident Fatalities

March 29, 2019 – – Dallas, TX – 1-800-Car-Wreck offers a variety of services and stands out in the industry. The company reports that fatal car accidents are on the rise in the U.S. with a 14 percent increase from 2014 with 40,000 reported deaths in 2016. It’s the highest increase since 1966 and is likely due to more time that drivers spend on the road. The economy has become more robust, which has allowed trucking jobs to increase. It’s also led more people to spend time on the road traveling across states.

Although studies show that drivers understand their activities or distractions while operating a vehicle increase their risk of a collision, many still believe they don’t have behaviors that need to change. Studies show the top contributors to accidents include speeding, driver distraction, alcohol and drug impairment, and drowsy driving. Distracted driving is one of the main causes due to increased cell phone use, whether through voice activation or texting. Approximately 64 percent of drivers also admit to feeling comfortable driving above the speed limit, which explains the rise of collisions that are caused due to speeding. At least one dozen states have increased their speed limits on highways in the last three years, which has contributed to more accidents due to drivers who are prone to driving five to 10 mph above the speed limit.
