The Danger of Drunk Drivers
However, there are certain factors that can make this action an extremely dangerous one.
Drunk drivers not only pose a threat to themselves and their personal well-being, but they effectively endanger the well-being of all they come into contact with through their negligence and poor decision making.
By remaining aware of the dangers related to sharing the road with a driver under the influence you are better able to protect yourself and those you care about.
Dangerous Actions Commonly Performed by Drunk Drivers Drivers operating their vehicles after having too many drinks are likely to make decisions in contrast with the required road rules and restrictions.
Commonly, these drivers lack the mental clarity to operate safely on public roads.
Much of their faulty decision making can result in the following actions:
- Swerving in and out of lanes or between various lanes on the road
- Failing to abide by the restrictions posed by speed limits, stop signs, or other traffic signs
- Not taking others on the road into account
- Driving without proper lighting
- Failing to properly signal turns or lane changes, therefore failing to communicate properly with other drivers on the road
When a drunk driver makes the above mentioned choices, they are likely to cause a car accident or collide with another car or form of property themselves, causing unnecessary damage.
