How can I find out how many accidents have occurred at a particular intersection?

Question

I recently got in a car accident at a particular intersection that I am sure is unsafe (I am a very careful driver, never had a ticket or accident for my 15 years of driving). How do I find out accident statistics in that particular intersection? I want to point this out at my court date.

Answer 1

It won't mean anything--because YOU are responsible for your own driving and that means you are admitting that YOU knew it was dangerous and drove through anyway.  Obviously you weren't as careful as you thought. The intersection is not to blame--bad drivers are to blame. defensive drivers will avoid a dangerous intersection--find a safer route to drive.--- the judge won't listen to you so don't try it.

Answer 2

Check with the local police.  

A "Freedom of Information" form may be required.   No biggie.

Answer 3

here in florida, we ask at the city hall. they give us answers. although its harder getting actual proof. maybe they can tell you where you need to go where you live. maybe a courthouse? i'd try city hall first.

Answer 4

Local police will tell you.

Answer 5

Just call your local police department and they will have that information for you.
