Virginia Roads Need Continued Care from VDOT After Multiple Accidents
Icy, sleek roads are continuing to cause problems for drivers in Virginia. VDOT is working hard to keep the roads safe.
Road safety is always a fundamental issue everywhere, although lack of awareness is leading to an increase in accidents across various states. In Virginia alone, traffic accidents and pedestrian hits have been increasing steadily, especially during times of increased traffic volumes.
Industry insiders claim that there is a number of factors leading to such an increase in accidents. People are increasingly distracted, with mobile devices always connected. Texting and driving are becoming increasingly dangerous, and estimates claim that it is on the way to surpass drunk driving as a cause of accidents on the road. Lack of awareness is also a problem because many people fail to understand the impact their driving practices might have on their lives and on the lives of others in the community.
The Virginia State Police issued frequent reminders (especially recently), for all drivers to be more mindful and stay safe on the road, especially adopting standard safety practices such as wearing a seatbelt, staying within speed limits, and driving sober, as well as avoiding distractions. Especially at times when the weather is harsh and not too favorable, it is important for people to stay vigilant across Virginia, in order to facilitate safe travels for everyone!
