Traffic Accidents Sometimes Result in Injuries

Here are some of the practices that will help us prevent accidents:

• Follow the posted speed limit.
• Slow down your speed at intersections.
• Give pedestrians the right of way at crosswalks and unmarked corners. Be ready to stop and let those on foot cross.
• Apply extra care in less-than-ideal driving conditions. This may include dark, foggy, or rainy weather.
• Respect all bicyclists. Give cyclists at least three to five feet of room when passing a bike. California law requires drivers to provide a minimum of three feet of space between a vehicle and a bicycle.
• If there is not enough space to pass a bicyclist safely, be patient and wait until you can.

Commutes like taking your kids to school or going to work should be of no great consequence. Yet vehicle collision cases such as the single-car crash on Highway 1 continue to occur.

Traffic safety continues to be a life-and-death matter, yet reckless driving has not been in decline. Truth be told, one person is killed in a traffic accident every couple of hours.
