Common Causes of Bus Accidents
For the most part, bus drivers are responsible, safe professionals who do all they can to avoid a crash. But unfortunately, these drivers are susceptible to the same moments of carelessness and negligence as other motorists.
When a bus driver causes a crash, it may be due to one of the following:
- Drunk driving
- Distracted driving
- Speeding
- Reckless driving
- Inadequate driving experience
- Inadequate training
There are several other ways that the accident may be linked to someone else's negligence other than the driver's:
- Defective roads
- Inadequate bus maintenance
- Defective automotive parts
