What causes truck accidents?
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) is designed to regulate truck drivers and their employers in order to protect others on the road. For example, under FMCSA regulations, truck drivers may not operate their vehicles for longer than 11 hours or 14 hours in total including work that does not involve driving. By ignoring the hours ofservice regulations, truck drivers put others in serious jeopardy of accidents caused by exhausted driving.
Common causes of trucking accidents include, but are not limited to:
- Jackknifing
- Tire blowouts
- Drunk Drivers
- Making unsafe lane changes
- Fatigued drivers
- Driving aggressively
- Failure to follow rules of the road
- Improperly secured cargo
- Inexperienced drivers
- Texting or talking on the phone while driving
