Dangerous Driving Behavior-Tennessee Car Wreck

In 1996, the cost of crashes involving speeding was estimated to be $28.8 billion. Often, we forget how dangerous erratic driving behaviors can be. The impact of a car or truck accident can be catastrophic. Motor vehicle accidents carry the weight to change your life in a matter of seconds. This is why it is important to understand your legal rights. Licensed Tennessee attorneys understand the law. They know when and how to help you when it matters the most.

Attorneys at Baker Associates are skilled attorneys that are ready to fight for the compensation you deserve. We have represented numerous individuals in personal injury claims. Often, we are able to provide our clients with the services that are well within their best interests. Again, this is why it is important to contact a licensed Tennessee attorney if you have been injured in a car or truck accident.

Only limited information is available on driver attitudes and behavior regarding speeding and other forms of unsafe driving behavior, including those typically identified as aggressive driving, e.g., tailgating, weaving, running red lights, and making angry, insulting, or obscene gestures to other drivers. To help provide information in this important area, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) commissioned a national survey of the driving public to determine:

• the wide range of driver attitudes about speeding and other forms of aggressive/unsafe driving behavior;

• commonly occurring situations in which unsafe driving occurs;


• driver characteristics associated with those who commit these types of infractions; and

• the types of countermeasures the public believes are acceptable and effective for countering such behaviors.
