Investigators will assess whether visibility, distractions, or not yielding played a role in the accident. If speeding was involved, the Basic Speed Law might also be relevant. Drivers must operate their vehicles at speeds that are safe and appropriate for the conditions, particularly during nighttime or near crowded intersections. Furthermore, the Duty of Care Law applies to both drivers and pedestrians, mandating that everyone stay vigilant and take preventive measures to avoid accidents.
