Why Do Wrong-Way Accidents Occur?
Car accidents should never occur if drivers adhere to road rules and avoid mistakes. However, the majority of accidents are caused by human error. Although some accidents seem highly improbable, such as wrong-way incidents on the interstate, they still happen.
The existence of control systems to regulate interstate entry and exit points should prevent drivers from heading in the wrong direction and causing head-on collisions. So, why do these accidents occur? The primary reason for wrong-way accidents is impairment. While individual cases may involve various factors, impairment is consistently identified as the main cause. Typically, the impaired driver is under the influence of excessive alcohol consumption. However, impairment can also result from the recreational or legal use of prescription medications, as well as the use of legal drugs like marijuana.
