Did you know that most motor vehicle accidents in Queensland occur at 3pm on a Friday afternoon? According to research undertaken by Queensland’s Motor Accident Insurance Commission (MAIC) this is the case.
Most Car Accidents in Queensland Occur at 3pm on Friday Afternoons
Obviously drivers are busy contemplating their weekend ahead & taking their minds off the road in front of them. Distraction is a major cause of motor vehicle accidents and it’s not just due to mobile phones or changing your radio station whilst driving. Not keeping your mind on the road ahead can be just as dangerous.
So this Friday when you’re on your way home from work or doing that school pick up, remember to keep your mind on the road ahead. And keep an eye on the drivers around you too. You may be paying attention, but that truck driver, motorist or cyclist next to you may be pondering that weekend away they’ve been dreaming of all week!
Most Qld Road Accidents Happen in Brisbane & Most are Within a Short Distance of the Driver’s Home
A lot of car accidents also occur within a short distance of the driver’s home. As they say, “familiarity breeds contempt”. Keep in mind – you may know your hood well, but the drivers around you may not. And changes can occur at any time, and usually when you least expect it. So be prepared for anything.
As you would expect, most motor vehicle accidents in Queensland occur in Brisbane, with over 50,000 motor accidents happening each year. There are around 30,000 accidents in the South East Region (Ipswich, Gold & Sunshine Coasts) & around 11,000 in other Regional Centres in Queensland.
Most Car Accidents are “Rear-Enders” from Following Too Closely
The majority of car accidents are what we call “rear-ender” accidents. A rear-ender accident is where a vehicle runs into the back of the vehicle it’s following. These accidents are primarily caused by following too closely. In the case of such accidents, the driver of the following vehicle is the liable party and it’s only in exceptional circumstances where this will not be the case.
Fatal accidents in Queensland have continued to reduce over the past 10 yrs but unfortunately teenage fatalities still make up the majority of annual road fatality figures.
Neck & Back Injuries are the Most Common Motor Vehicle Accident Injuries in Queensland
Statistics also show that the majority of motor accident injuries are spinal injuries, including to the neck, mid & lower back regions. Whiplash injuries to the neck and jarring injuries to the back make up most of these spinal injury claims. This is then followed by lower and upper extremity injuries, & then injuries to the chest and head.
