Rear end accidents account for a large percentage of car wrecks in Nevada. Often times these motor vehicle accidents are the result of a driver’s negligence such as:
- Talking on a cell phone
- Failing to use due care
- Failing to maintain a safe travel distance (tailgating)
- Not paying attention to traffic or weather conditions
Particularly dangerous are the motor vehicle rear end accidents, which take place on our freeways (I-95, I15, I215). Traffic will often bottleneck, thereby causing vehicles to abruptly stop. Those operating commercial vehicles such as semi tractor-trailers, diesels, 18-wheelers, big rigs or other heavy equipment need to leave adequate space between themselves and vehicles traveling in front of them. Accidents involving heavy commercial vehicles often result in horrific injury. To prevent rear end collisions the Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles recommends a traveling distance of at least two seconds from the vehicle in front of you. Using this two second scale would significantly reduce tail gaiting and rear-end automobile accidents
