Automobile negligence explained

What is Automobile Negligence?

When we get behind the wheel of an automobile we have an obligation to drive in a way that won’t endanger our fellow drivers. Unfortunately, not all drivers adhere by this rule. Negligent driving is defined by Florida Statute 316.1925 and states that:

1. Any person operating a vehicle upon the streets or highways within the state shall drive the same in a careful and prudent manner, having regard for the width, grade, curves, corners, traffic, and all other attendant circumstances, so as not to endanger the life, limb, or property of any person. Failure to drive in such manner shall constitute careless driving and a violation of this section.

Examples of Automobile Negligence

Failure to follow the rules of the road results in negligent driving. It could be anything from following a fellow driver too closely, failure to stop at a stop sign, failure to comply with a traffic light, or speeding. It’s one thing to purposefully disregard road rules, but many times a law-abiding citizen falls victim to negligible driving when they aren’t paying attention.
