At Oliver Insurance, serving the area in and around Canby, OR, we are here to help the community be prepared for accidents and help them avoid them. Here are some of the top driver errors that can lead to accidents and how you can prevent them.<\/p>\n

Distracted Driving<\/h2>\n

Distracted driving is one of the leading causes of auto accidents. It includes driving while talking on the cell phone or texting, eating while driving, or doing makeup while driving. Your eyes and mind should be focused on the road ahead of you.<\/p>\n

Speeding<\/h2>\n

Speed limits are designed with driver safety in mind. Going faster than the posted speed limit can lead to accidents and is one of the leading causes of human driver error. Always go to the posted speed limit.<\/p>\n

Tailgating<\/h2>\n

Lastly, keep plenty of distance between you and the vehicles in front of you. Tailgating, or following too closely, commonly leads to rear-end accidents. Also, consider weather and road conditions and give yourself more distance for challenging road conditions.<\/p>\n
