THREE WAYS A PROFESSIONAL TRUCK DRIVER CAN CAUSE A SEMITRUCK ACCIDENT
01.
02.
SPEEDING
FATIGUE
Semi-truck drivers are frequently under intense pressure to deliver their loads on time. Furthermore, they are only permitted to drive for a certain number of hours in a given period before being required to stop and rest. As a result, truckers may speed to make up lost time. Excessive speed exacerbates driving errors and leads to more serious property damage and injuries in a crash.
Fatigue is a major issue for truck drivers, particularly on long hauls. A tired driver may have difficulty focusing on the road. Furthermore, fatigue reduces reaction time and impairs judgement, increasing the likelihood of a serious truck accident.
03. DISTRACTIONS Driving a tractor-trailer requires concentration. A deadly accident can occur when a truck driver takes his eyes off the road for a few seconds to send a text, make a phone call, adjust the radio, or eat a sandwich.
