Most people are aware of the dangers of driving while under the influence of drugs or alcohol. However, few people stop to think of the dangers they might be creating by getting behind of the wheel of a car while fatigued.
A fatigued driver can be hazard not only to him or herself, but to everyone else on the road. If you or someone you love has been seriously injured in a car accident caused by a fatigued driver, contact the St. Petersburg car accident lawyers of Beltz & Ruth, P.A. by calling 800-931-4369 today.
An extremely tired driver is acting with complete disregard to the lives and safety of all the drivers around him or her when he or she continues to drive instead of pull over. It is fairly easy to spot fatigued drivers while you are on the road. If you encounter one of these drivers, do not move near the car in question. Instead back off to a safe distance. Signs of driver fatigue include:
- Sloppy or incomplete lane changing
- Swerving
- Over compensating
- Missing exits and jerking the steering wheel and thus the car itself
Drivers who are selfish enough to put other people’s lives in danger simply because they do not feel like losing time should be held accountable for their actions.
If you or someone you love was the victim of a fatigued driver, contact the St. Petersburg personal injury lawyers of Beltz & Ruth, P.A. by calling 800-931-4369 today.
