Coral Gables Unsafe Lane Changing Accidents
When drivers make unsafe lane changes, they endanger other motorists. It only takes a few seconds to ensure that a lane change is safe, and when drivers are too distracted or too impatient to take the simple precautions of checking their mirrors and blind spots, they can cause devastating car accidents. Unfortunately, many unsafe lane change accidents occur on Coral Gables and Florida highways and freeways, where speeds are faster, and this can lead to more devastating and even fatal injuries.
