Pedestrians and those on motorcycles tend to be particularly at risk in car accidents. According to the Centers for Disease Control, “Adults ages 65 years and older accounted for about 17% of the U.S. population in 2021. However, this group accounted for 21% of all pedestrian deaths in 2021.” Drivers should take a number of measures in order to prevent car accidents.
- Drivers should check their blind spots before making left turns.
- Drivers should abstain from alcohol and drugs.
- Drivers should be well rested before heading out onto the road.
