Personal Injury Accident Lawyer Discusses Crash Avoidance Systems
Our attorney for car accidents is reporting a recent news story found in the Detroit Free Press regarding U.S. decision on whether or not to have crash avoidance systems. According to The Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the U.S. might try to pass a law that would mandate every vehicle on the road to have connected-vehicle technology. A system that would help prevent car accident fatalities up to 80 percent.
Some new vehicles already have different devices to help reduce crashes. These devices include:
- Forward-collision warning
- Lane departure warning
- Electronic stability control
- Automatic parallel parking control
- Blind Spot warnings
Since 2006, these controls have helped reduce the number of fatalities by 25 percent in the United States.
Other possible solutions the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has considered include:
- Converting intersections to roundabouts
- Stronger enforcement of seat belt laws
- Mandatory helmet use for motorcyclists
- Lower speed limits
- Sobriety checkpoints
