What are the Various Violations under the California Vehicle Code?
Auto accidents often occur due to the negligence of one or more drivers. Negligent vehicle operation is commonly used to define this negligence. Negligence can manifest in various forms, such as texting while driving, lack of attention, or driving while under the influence. Unfortunately, responsible behavior often takes a back seat to distractions, which include:
- Exceeding the speed limit, which is a prevalent cause of automobile accidents.
- Failing to pay attention to or comply with traffic signals, signs, and other road warnings.
- Neglecting to use directional signals to indicate a driver's intentions to other drivers.
- Disregarding California laws that prohibit talking on a hand-held cell phone or texting while operating a motor vehicle.
