Driving on the highway can sometimes be very
relaxing. However, it can also be very dangerous,
especially during extreme weather conditions.
Most people take the highway in order to avoid
city crowds and traffic jams. However, a simple
mistake could cause a multi-vehicle car accident
and a jam on the highway. Here are the most
common causes of car accidents on the highway.

SPEEDING
Even though there are many signs along the
highway, some people choose to ignore them and do
what they feel like doing. When speeding, you
reduce your control of the vehicle, and
maneuvering the vehicle becomes harder than
usual. If something happens in front of you and
you have to switch lane to avoid a collision, the
chances are that you wont break on time and that
you will end up in a car accident. Be extremely
cautious about how you drive. Remember that it is
the speed that kills, not the collision itself.

DISTRACTIONS
Regardless of whether you are driving in the city
or on the highway, a simple distraction could be
your last one. Even if it is something as small
as changing the tune on the radio, it may take
your eyes off the road and lead you into a
collision. If you find yourself in a car
accident as a result of a distraction (whether
yours or from another driver), immediately
contact a car accident lawyer in Los Angeles
Howard c. Kornberg and seek his legal help. He is
your best option of getting the settlement for
your damages.

RECKLESS DRIVING
The most common thing you can see on the highway,
especially during rush hour is the constant lane
switching. Some people simply want to arrive at a
target destination as quickly as possible, and
will recklessly switch lanes whenever they feel
like it. In most cases, they wont even use
proper signal lights to let other drivers know
they are switching lanes. This is where things
get dangerous. Be sure to use your signal lights
properly and switch lanes only when it is safe to
avoid causing an accident.
