Rear collisions

When you drive inappropriately fast or are too close to another driver, when he stops suddenly, a collision may occur. Or you may even end up on the side of the road trying to avoid a car accident. These types of accidents are usually not very dangerous for life or the car. However, to avoid them, try to keep a proper distance and maintain the permitted speed.

One vehicle collision

These types of traffic accidents usually happen when the road is slippery in rain and ice and with careless and unsafe drivers. They also happen very often to drivers who are beginners. It is very important, we repeat, to maintain a normal driving speed and to be maximally concentrated on the road and the events on the road. Even a small inattention can cause you to run off the road and lose control of the vehicle. Unfortunately, such accidents often end in death.

Accidents in cross traffic

Accidents at intersections also happen very often and are usually caused by a driver who runs a red light or does not respect traffic signs and turns without letting other drivers pass. These types of collisions occur due to the carelessness of experienced drivers, but also among new and inexperienced drivers who have not yet mastered all the rules and guidelines. Unfortunately, in this case, reckless drivers endanger other drivers and thus can take innocent lives due to carelessness.

Damage to a parked car

A very common cause of car damage is also damage in the parking lot. We can meet and experience this very often, right? In order to avoid this type of damage to your car and so that you do not damage someone else’s car, follow a few tips.

Don’t always park in the part where there are the most vehicles, go further where there are fewer. Also, try to park in the center of the parking lot, and don’t park too close to the parking line. It’s also a good idea to park in a garage, and when you park on the street, try to get as far away from the road and driveway as possible so that other drivers don’t accidentally run into you and cause damage.

Accidents hit and run

There are other reckless drivers who can damage you and simply flee the scene or ignore that anything happened at all. Such reckless drivers usually run away because they are under the influence of alcohol and other opiates in order to avoid a fine, or if they were driving without a driver’s license. In such a situation, try to remember or take a picture of the license plate number and the car so that you can find and report the driver and so that your damage can be compensated.

Multi-vehicle accidents

Accidents involving several vehicles occur on busy roads as well as on highways. In these situations, it is really very difficult to determine who caused the accident, and several drivers can be at fault at the same time.
