No matter how careful we are on the road, for every road user, the thought of a car accident is always present. A distracted driver, an intoxicated driver, a car with mechanical problems, poorly maintained roads. These are all contributing factors in car accidents and pose a risk to all road users. According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, single-vehicle crashes account for over half of the total number of car accidents in the United States. In the State of New Jersey, car occupants and pedestrians accounted for approximately 65% of motor vehicle crash deaths.
