Accidents are not usually planned by drivers who are involved in it, but negligent acts that could have been avoided often lead to it. These acts include driving over the legal speed limit, driving while impaired under the influence of drugs or alcohol, and taking turns and curves at an unsafe speed.
NDOT relying on facts from accident reports advise drivers to avoid doing the above. It is safer for drivers to obey all speed limits and signs, pay attention to the road when behind the wheel, and drive responsibly. It is also prudent for motorists to wear seatbelts and ensure they maintain their vehicles regularly.
