Auto Accidents Caused by a Failure to Stop or Yield
Most auto accidents are caused by some form of operator negligence. Speeding, drunk driving, texting and other known risk factors all play a significant role in the total number of auto accidents that occur on a yearly basis.
One particularly dangerous form of operator negligence is a failure to stop or properly yield. This may occur in a number of contexts:
- Failure to stop for a red light
- Failure to stop at a stop sign
- Failure to yield to pedestrians at an intersection
- Failure to obey a school bus stop sign
- Failure to yield to drivers who have the right of way
- Failure to yield to bicyclists in an intersection
- Failure to see a motorcycle and stop in a timely fashion
- Failure to stop behind other stopped vehicles
