One of the riskiest things you can do while driving is to run a red light. Connecticut car accidents are much more prevalent when involving a vehicle that has run a red light. In fact, a recent AAA study found that deaths due to vehicles running red lights have hit a 10 year high.
Here are three other stats from that study that will leave you stopping well behind that stop line at the next red light you come in contact with:
- Nearly 30% of all accidents that occur at an intersection involve vehicles that have run a red light.
- Almost half (46%) of people killed in crashes involving a car that had run a red light were passengers in the other car.
- 5% of people who were killed in a red light running incident were pedestrians or cyclists.
