I myself have been in a car accident where I was rear-ended, so I know firsthand what it’s like to go through the process and how it can be arduous — physically, legally, and emotionally.
Topic of the Day: Aggressive Driving
Today, I’m here to talk about aggressive driving. If you’re out on the road, I’m sure you see this almost on a daily basis. People are extremely aggressive, and oftentimes, they tailgate dangerously close.
Massachusetts law requires that all drivers maintain a safe distance between vehicles — often at least four vehicle lengths. All too often, you see people tailgating, and if someone stops abruptly, a serious accident can occur.
What Counts as Aggressive Driving?
Aggressive driving can include:
- Following too closely
- Speeding
- Making erratic lane changes
- Tailgating another driver
Massachusetts law does not require that a person intends to cause an accident. However, when someone drives erratically, it’s extremely important because it can increase the value of your case — due to the dangerous nature of the other driver’s behavior.
