T-bone collisions can have devastating consequences for all cars involved, but there is a particular danger for the vehicle that gets a forceful side blow. This is mainly because, compared to other crashes, there is less of a buffer zone between the point of impact and the car’s occupants. Side airbags are also both less common and less effective, which can also exacerbate serious injuries. Most T-bone accidents will happen at intersections where one vehicle has to yield to the other vehicle's right-of-way, such as at traffic lights and Stop signs. Considering transit laws, something has to go terribly wrong to cause a side-impact collision. The leading cause is negligence, which can constitute: Not properly signaling before making a turn Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol Driving through a red light or ignoring a Stop sign Any form of distracted driving, especially texting Driving at reckless speeds and losing control of the vehicle
