Accidents Could Result in Injuries

Truth be told, traffic accidents statewide continue to take the lives of hundreds each year. That is why, we should always follow traffic rules to prevent traffic accidents.

Here are some tips to help avoid incidents similar to the Houston collision:

• 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. State 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 traffic accident cases such as the crash on 6001 Homestead Road continue to occur.
