Those who take to Clinton’s roads in their vehicles likely understand that the risk of being involved in a car accident is ever-present. Indeed, car accidents are often prevalent enough that few people escape ever being involved in one or personally knowing someone who has been. Per the New Jersey Department of Transportation, 278,413 such accidents occurred in the state in 2018 alone.
What is the ELD rule?
If you are like most people who live in New Jersey, you have been in a car, pickup truck or sport utility vehicle when a semi-truck or other large commercial vehicle has come up alongside the vehicle you are in. In these situations, you instantly become aware of how much smaller your vehicle is than the adjacent big rig. This can be a somewhat frightening or sobering experience because you realize the danger to people in average passenger vehicles when accidents occur that involve both large trucks and regular vehicles.

Certain risk factors drastically increase the likelihood of a collision. Exceeding the speed limit, paying attention to something other than the road, driving while under the influence of drugs or alcohol, and driving while exhausted are all major risk factors that can increase the potential for a crash.
