Here are some of the most common acts of driver misconduct that often result in pedestrian accidents:

  1. Failing to notice a crosswalk – Many drivers fail to pay attention to crosswalks, thus they are susceptible to accidents. A simple matter of waiting for pedestrians to cross will help solve this problem. Unfortunately, many drivers still forget to do this.
  2. Disregarding a traffic control device – Running a red light and running straight into an accident is an example of a driver who gives no importance to traffic controls.
  3. Disregarding pedestrians who are crossing- It is basic driver’s education: When a pedestrian is in the middle of crossing the road at the pedestrian crosswalk, a driver must proceed with caution and yield so as to avoid a potential accident. Not all do so.
  4. Driving under the influence – Drunk drivers can be a threat to pedestrians. The most common drunk driving incidents are those that involve striking a pedestrian on the sidewalk.
  5. Passing a School Bus – Drivers who disregard a school bus and its flashing overhead lights run the risk of injuring the children who are alighting from the bus.
