Keep Yourself Safe by Knowing Crash Statistics
Understanding Jacksonville’s traffic accident trends can be a valuable tool for drivers aiming to stay safe on the road. By learning where and when crashes most commonly happen in the city, motorists can make smarter choices—like taking alternate routes around high-risk intersections or driving more cautiously in certain areas. Being aware of frequent causes of accidents, such as distracted driving or speeding, also empowers drivers to avoid these risky behaviors and help create a safer environment for everyone. Staying informed about local traffic statistics ultimately supports more responsible driving and helps reduce the chances of being involved in a crash.
Five more tips to always keep in mind to stay safe on Florida’s roads are:
- Follow the speed limit: Speeding is a leading cause of accidents in Florida, so it's important to obey posted speed limits and adjust your driving to match road conditions.
- Avoid distractions: Distracted driving, such as texting or using a phone while driving, can significantly increase your risk of being involved in an accident. Put your phone away and focus on the road.
- Wear your seatbelt: Wearing your seatbelt is one of the simplest and most effective ways to protect yourself from serious injuries in traffic collisions. Make sure you and all passengers in your vehicle are always wearing their seatbelts.
- Keep a safe distance: Maintaining a safe following distance between vehicles gives you more time to react if something unexpected happens on the road ahead.
- Be aware of weather conditions: Florida's weather can be unpredictable, so it's important to stay aware of current weather conditions and adjust your driving accordingly. Slow down during rainstorms or other adverse weather events that may make roads slick or visibility poor.
