There is no doubt about it, Newton drivers are some of the most responsible drivers in the whole country. That being said, collisions can still occur. Three of the most common reasons that collisions continue to take place include:

Drunk Driving

It really does go without saying that drunk driving is both irresponsible and extremely dangerous. In 2010 alone, an estimated 1.41 million people in the United States were arrested on suspicion of drunk driving. This figure is far too high and needs to be tackled. At Jay's Hobby Shop Inc. we take our responsibility as a leading auto repair and collision repair service seriously. This means that we will always advise drivers who have been involved in a collision not to ever risk drunk driving. It is a danger to you and to the wider community and cannot be allowed to continue.

Breaking Speed Limits

After drunk driving, speeding is the next biggest factor that contributes to collisions in the Newton area. Unfortunately, speeding not only increases the likelihood that you will be involved in an accident but it also heightens the potential severity of a crash. At Jay's Hobby Shop Inc. we have seen cars destroyed and individuals very badly injured because they hit a tree, snowbank or oncoming vehicle while driving too fast. This is very dangerous. As a collision repair company we would be much happier if we never had to repair a car or motorcycle that has been involved in an accident because of speeding. That is why we always advocate that Newton drivers should allow themselves more than enough time to reach their destination.

Driving While Distracted

Despite the dangers of drunk driving and the obvious issues around speeding, the number one cause of accidents and collisions in the United States at present is distracted driving. Whether it’s talking on your phone, eating, texting, shaving, applying makeup or simply turning around to discipline children, the consequences can be deadly. The fact of the matter is that while we are a collision repair service, we are far more concerned with your safety than our business. That is why we provide a manual to all of our customers outlining the many dangers that are associated with driving distracted. If we could offer one piece of advice, it would be this: when you get behind the wheel of your car put all cell phones, food, drinks and other potential distractions away and concentrate solely on the journey ahead.
