At some point in their lives, drivers and passengers alike would encounter irresponsible drivers. With them present on the road, they transform the roads into obstacle courses that other motorists try to avoid. Like monsters in horror tales, they endanger lives and property with their reckless behavior behind the wheel.
If you drive your vehicle every day, you should take time to go through the list below to see if you have encountered them during your trips. Below are some of the motorists who possess inappropriate driving behavior, enough to be considered “monsters” of the road:
• Angry driver. The temperament of this kind of driver is similar to that of the Angry Birds. If all of them are poised to hit wood and glass just to go after those green pigs in the video game, the angry driver, meanwhile, is on a collision course with either injuries or death.
As it is, venting out forceful emotions to unsuspecting drivers and commuters is considered aggressive driving. Such concept is known to have either injured or killed many motorists.
• Wasted driver. He or she is one who is insensitive to the safety of other drivers, as he or she is known to have a few drinks at a party and drive home drunk. For your own safety, and of others, too, it is best that you refrain from drinking and driving. Basically, alcohol disrupts driving decisions, leading to injury or even death.
• Technologically-driven driver. Technology has its own disadvantages, too. Take for instance the use of mobile phones. Using them while driving is known to be a distraction, and many people have been injured or killed in motor vehicle crashes because of it.
In fact, in 2010, some 3,092 people were killed in distracted driving-related accidents, with more than 416,000 injuries included.
• Daydreaming driver. He or she is like the technologically-driven driver in being easily distract, but he or she does not use mobile phones and other gadgets while driving. Instead, he or she is someone whose mind wanders.
In fact, he or she is someone who ignores everything on the road, from traffic signs and rules to the posted speed limit on the freeway. Such driver causes inconveniences on traffic, as well as accidents that shouldn’t have happened.
Next time you encounter these kinds of drivers, remind yourself these: never become one of them. At your end, possessing the qualities of a “monster” driver won’t do you any good. Meanwhile, a Los Angeles personal injury lawyer believes that keeping focus on the road is the best way to avoid injuries and deaths.
