Loss of concentration causes accidents

On average 700 deaths occur each year in work areas on public roadways, highways, roads, and in city streets.

The lack of concentration of car drivers were the cause of these fatalities, and most deaths were construction workers. Every driver of any motor vehicle driving on public roads, must be focused, attentive and most of all looking out for construction workers who work on the streets.

As part of National Crime Prevention Week Work Zone, the Texas Department of Transportation, in the lecture series and events, has a goal to encourage drivers and machine operators to take care of the crews, that the dedicated workers are not injured by vehicles.

To instruct, educate and cultivate the Loredo redsidents in that sense, is that this week they have joined the staff of the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS), the Laredo Police and agents of the Department of Webb County Sheriff.

Also, contractors and construction workers themselves in roads, have participated in seminars to avoid unfortunate incidents. In addition to the 700 annual deaths are 40,000 people who are injured, 85% of those injured are drivers or passengers of vehicles.

In Texas, the figure is 15, 131 car accidents and 1208 deaths in road construction. In 2009, 3, 781 road accidents were due to the driver's distraction involving 7,837 cars, with 27 deaths.

I totally agree with you. According to a recent survey it has proved that the major reason behind accidents is the loss of concentration.People are thinking of something else and are driving the way they like.

We have handled a lot of cases here at our firm from people not paying attention. Falling asleep at the wheel is right up there with not paying attention. One of the biggest problems though is texting while driving.
