Speeding is a common cause of traffic accidents, no matter what type of accidents they are:
- Car accidents
- Truck accidents
- Motorcycle accidents
- Pedestrian accidents
- Bicycle accidents
Time and again, investigations into the causes of car and truck accidents of our clients uncover the same truth: excessive speed was most likely the key factor. Speeding by truck drivers is especially hazardous because it is harder for trucks to stop or pull over onto the shoulder in order to stop.
Furthermore, the greater Philadelphia and Pittsburgh areas are significant trucking transportation hubs. Cross-country truck traffic en route to and from New York and Washington, D.C., passes through these Pennsylvania metro areas. Distribution centers for large companies such as Walmart, Amazon, Home Depot and Lowes generate large quantities of truck comings and goings.
Construction zones, poor roadway conditions and poorly designed highway configurations all contribute to stress points between trucks and other vehicles on Pennsylvania streets and highways. Speeding trucks exacerbate other challenging factors such as curvy, winding roads and rush-hour traffic.
