With so many drivers in the state, motor vehicle accidents occur often. Most New Jersey drivers practice safe driving when behind the wheel. But others engage in reckless driving and make the roads unsafe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Motor vehicle accidents often result in reckless driving lawsuits. Are you recovering from an injury received in a motor vehicle accident? If so, you might have a right to compensation if the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.natlawreview.com\/article\/representing-victims-reckless-driving\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">driver was reckless<\/a>. Below are some examples of reckless driving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"driving-too-fast-for-current-road-conditions\">Driving too fast for current road conditions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">New Jersey gets its fair share of snow. Roads are sometimes covered with snow and ice during the winter. Driving fast on a slick road is reckless \u2013 no matter the speed limit. It\u2019s easy to lose control of a vehicle when driving on roads covered with snow and ice. Even if the speed limit is 65MPH, going 65MPH is reckless if the roads are bad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"making-sudden-lane-changes\">Making sudden lane changes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some drivers constantly make sudden lane changes without signaling. They weave through traffic in a rush to reach their destination. Changing lanes without signaling takes other drivers by surprise. This often results in major&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tmallonlaw.com\/motor-vehicle-accidents\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">car accidents<\/a>&nbsp;on highways and freeways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"drunk-driving\">Drunk driving<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Drunk drivers caused 25 percent of New Jersey car crash fatalities in 2020. That doesn\u2019t include crashes caused by people affected by medications or illegal drugs. Driving while impaired is reckless, and threatens everyone\u2019s safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"driving-too-close-to-other-vehicles\">Driving too close to other vehicles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tailgating is driving too close behind another vehicle. It\u2019s also a major cause of rear-end vehicle crashes. You never know when a vehicle will make a sudden stop. If there\u2019s not enough space between vehicles, then the car in the back won\u2019t have time to stop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are many more examples of reckless driving to watch out for. The ones mentioned above are some of the most common. Reckless drivers cause injuries, and fatalities and make the roads unsafe for everyone. If you\u2019ve been hurt by a reckless driver, you might have grounds for a reckless driving lawsuit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Jersey has more than 6 million licensed drivers.
