Five Hidden Injuries Caused by Motorcycle Accidents

By | June 15th, 2017

When a motorcycle accident involves seemingly minor scrapes and bruises, the temptation is strong to quickly get past the unpleasant experience and resume your normal daily routine. However, not getting a physical examination by a doctor is a mistake. You may have internal soft tissue injuries that aren’t immediately apparent because there’s no external wound or bleeding. You may not feel the injuries at first because the accident may have triggered pain suppressing hormones. In addition, it may take time before tissue inflammation and/or internal bleeding to become extensive enough to.

Reduce Your Motorcycle Accident Risk by Using LED Lights for Increased Visibility

By | June 8th, 2017

As all motorcyclists know, or should know, they have a visibility problem. They lack the size and basic shape of four-wheeled vehicles. Because of this, motorists may not notice them in busy traffic situations or at night. If you add to this the distractions of driver multitasking, motorcycling is clearly a high-risk activity.

Reflective clothing and strips assist in increasing their night.

Dump Truck Accidents: How They Endanger the Public

By | June 8th, 2017

Like all large trucks, dump trucks are massive vehicles that can cause great harm in accidents with ordinary motor vehicles. Unlike cars, these behemoths are not designed for stable driving and good handling on the road. That takes a backseat to their main purpose, which is hauling and dumping the heavy loads in their beds.

How Worn Rear Tire Tread on a Front Wheel Drive Can Cause a Crash

By | June 1st, 2017

Some frugal car owners with front wheel drive may be tempted to buy new tires for the front wheels only. The reasoning behind this is that the front wheels seem to do everything that matters while the rear wheels just go along for the ride. After all, the front wheel accelerates the car and does the steering. These two vital functions require good tire tread. Once all four tires wear down after careful tire rotation, you can spend half as much money by only replacing the front tires. As long as the.

By | June 1st, 2017

Two frightening ways of losing control of your car are loss of brakes and uncontrolled acceleration.

Accidents While Backing

By | May 25th, 2017

Many accidents occur while backing up. Drivers do not always have a good view of traffic or obstacles behind them. Newer cars are equipped with a rear camera to provide visibility for the driver. These cameras are helpful but may give the driver a false sense of security. The view is often distorted and does not give a perfect assessment of depth perception. The camera lens is also subject to being partially blocked by road dirt. Safe backing requires a continuous view of the rear and sides of the vehicle..
