Fatal Motorcycle Accidents in South Carolina
Fatal motorcycle accidents happen far too often in our state. The immediate shock and enduring sorrow that follow are among the toughest challenges a family can endure. Many of these heartbreaking accidents are due to careless driving. Here are some common causes:
- Poor Weather: Bad weather conditions, including heavy rain and fog, also play a role in many accidents by making it difficult for drivers to see clearly and control their vehicles.
- Reckless Driving: Risky actions like speeding, changing lanes without warning, and aggressive driving can drastically increase the likelihood of an accident.
- Driving Under the Influence: It’s well-known how dangerous and illegal it is to drive after consuming alcohol or drugs. Sadly, some people still make this choice, greatly diminishing their ability to make safe decisions on the road, which can lead to disastrous results.
