    Types of Car Accidents: What You Need to Know

    For most people in the United States, driving is an essential part of our everyday lives. We use our cars to commute to and from work, visit our friends and family, and go out to have fun. According to The Barnes Firm, a personal injury lawyer NYC, car accidents are a major everyday risk and can be medically and emotionally traumatic. There is always a risk, of course, that we will get into a car accident, and therefore it’s important to know about the types of car accidents, the dangers involved, and how to lower your chances of getting in a car accident.

    Pedestrian Accidents

    One of the greatest responsibilities for drivers on the road is to look out for pedestrians and bikers in everyday life. Pedestrians are less able to predict the actions of drivers and have less ability to avoid a collision. The majority of pedestrian accidents are caused by distracted driving – texting or talking on your cell phone, eating, programming your GPS, or being distracted by passengers. Even a seemingly minor pedestrian accident can result in serious injury or death, so mitigating distractions and staying vigilant, especially in high-traffic pedestrian areas, is an absolute must.

    Rear-End Collisions

    The general public’s idea of rear-end collisions is restricted to the glib phrase “fender-bender” and sees this kind of collision as more of an annoyance than a threat. Unfortunately, there are many injuries that can result from this seemingly minor car accident. Victims of a rear-end collision, especially those in the back seat, often have no way of seeing the accident coming and therefore don’t have the opportunity to brace correctly for the collision. This can result in a wide variety of injuries, including whiplash, serious bruising, broken bones, and concussions and other serious brain injuries. Rear-end collisions can be caused by either driver, either because of distracted driving on the part of the rear driver or sudden braking and other irresponsible driving on the part of the front driver.

    Sideswipes

    Sideswipe accidents are actually among the most dangerous for both the drivers and the passengers in any vehicle. Even if your car is a modern model with side-impact airbags, these airbags don’t offer as much protection as the airbags in front of you, and crumple zones are biased towards face-on collisions. If a sideswipe accident happens at highway speeds, it can easily result in serious injuries. Unfortunately, there are a variety of everyday maneuvers that can easily result in a sideswipe accident when performed by a distracted or inexperienced driver. These maneuvers include merging onto a highway, making a lane change without checking your blind spots, and driving too aggressively in adverse weather conditions. Since sideswipe collisions can easily result in broken bones and serious internal injuries, it is important to always pay full attention when performing these potentially dangerous but everyday maneuvers. Reach out to THE702FIRM Injury Attorneys for more information on this.

    Head-on Collisions

    For many people, head-on collisions are a true nightmare scenario. A car is coming at you from the wrong direction, and there’s little you can do to avoid it or reduce the impact of the collision. Head-on collisions are far less dangerous than they used to be, thanks to advances in airbag technology, dashboard impact technology, and crumple zones, but they can still easily result in serious injury or death, especially for those in the front seat. They are most often caused by seriously inexperienced drivers attempting to go on the wrong ramp or drivers under the influence of alcohol or drugs. If you are facing a head-on scenario, try to get into another lane if on a multi-lane highway or onto the shoulder if on a single-lane road. If that isn’t possible, reducing your speed can help to reduce the impact of the head-on collision.

    • Looks like the new Mercedes-AMG S 63 E PERFORMANCE was spotted testing in South Africa 🇿🇦

That start-up sounds pretty damn promising!

This thing packs a whopping 791 hp (590 kW) and 1,430 Nm of torque.

    • Look what’s arrived in South Africa 🇿🇦

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
