Common Causes of Providence Uber Accidents
Car accidents can happen quite commonly in our busy city streets, Uber’s are no exception to this. Given the nature of the business, accidents can be even more common among rideshare services. Operators may be unfamiliar with streets or lack the ability to drive safely, in addition to trying to get from destination to destination as quickly as possible. Here are some of the common causes of Uber accidents in Providence:
- Distracted Driving - Distractions are everywhere, especially for Uber drivers. They are busy communicating with passengers, controlling apps on their mobile devices, all while navigating through busy city streets to potentially unfamiliar destinations.
- Speeding - Uber drivers are paid for every job they complete, rather than taking an hourly wage. Some Uber drivers may try to take advantage of this by speeding through traffic to get to their next job.
- Poor Vehicle Maintenance - When vehicles are driven excessively on city streets, they require routine maintenance to be done. If a tire were to pop, or something in the vehicle malfunctions, it could cause serious injury to passengers and other vehicles on the road.
- Driving Under The Influence - Driving under the influence is never ok, it’s led to a lot of car accidents. An Uber driver may be more prone to this behavior while working long unsupervised in their car.
