New Jersey highways can be overcrowded and full over dangerous drivers and construction projects which may make it difficult to drive safely.
Impatient drivers can be very intimidating and cause serious accidents. Driving recklessly at peak hours such as the morning and afternoon commute may make other drivers feel as if they need to drive aggressively for protection.
This is not the answer, driving defensively is the only way to fight back against unsafe drivers. For example, keep a safe distance between yourself and the car in front you. Using the two second rule, or counting two seconds between when the car in front of you passes a fixed object until you pass the same fixed object, is the best way to do this.
Driving safely is important for yourself and to keep others on the road safe. If you have been injured in an accident due to someone else’s negligence, contact the New Jersey reckless driving car accident lawyers of Levinson and Axelrod by calling 800-346-5529.
