The worst has happened, and you are in a motorcycle accident. Whether you are the cyclist or the other party, there are vital steps needed to take place to ensure the safety of all involved. Call 911 If you and the other injured party cannot call 911, have the nearest person do it, and stay on the phone with them until the police and medics arrive. Even if you feel like all you have is a scratch, there can be internal injury that you are not aware of. You could.
With the arrival of fall, the days are getting a cooler and crisper, and the leaves of many trees are starting to change color. It’s certainly a pleasant time of the year for riding, but fall also has its own unique dangers. Enjoy your fall riding, but remember to watch for these four hazards: Leaves Depending on where you ride, the foliage this time of year can be quite spectacular. But those very same objects of beauty can cause a motorcycle accident after they fall on the road. Leaves can.
Intersections are messy situations involving traffic coming from different directions. This complexity demands greater attention and focus that many distracted motorists are unwilling to give. This makes intersections especially dangerous for the motorcyclist. However, you can mitigate the risk by following these seven tips on avoiding motorcycle accidents at intersections: Avoid intersections whenever possible. The less often you expose yourself to risky situations, the less likely an accident will happen. If your commute route takes you through nightmarish intersections, there’s no need to accept that risk twice daily. Change your.
Without your headlights, you wouldn’t last long while night driving. A deer, a fallen tree, or a car parked by the side of the road would all become invisible. Cars that can’t see you could pull in front of you and cause a head-on crash. Dim headlights are also risky. If your speed only allows a few seconds to stop your car when you first see a road obstruction, then you’re out-driving your headlights. Dim headlights prevent you from seeing long distances down the road. Either you must slow down.
There are many theories about the causes of road rage. Some blame it on unbalanced drivers, who have emotional or psychological issues. Others say it’s caused by the stress of modern society and by crowded roads. In any case, it’s important for safety’s sake to avoid doing it or triggering it in others. One way you can accomplish this is by recognizing common road rage scenarios in advance before they automatically trigger anger in you, or avoid them so that you don’t trigger it in others. Three of these scenarios.
Some people can drive for decades without ever getting into a car accident, while the accident rates of others are so bad that their insurance companies waste little time dropping them. What makes some people so accident prone? Although the inexperience and immaturity of very young drivers is a big factor, that doesn’t explain the high accident rates of some people who are well into their thirties. One explanation is that specific personality traits make some people more prone to engaging in risky driving behavior. The more often an individual.
Vision is the most important of the five senses for driving. Without it, you would go off the road or hit another car in a matter of seconds. It’s why a vision test is required when getting a driver’s license for the first time and for renewals. However, the eyewear choices that drivers make, profoundly affect their safety on the road, sometimes for the worse.

Ignorance of the law will not likely be an adequate defense when involved in a liability suit. That’s the reason for the saying that “ignorance of the law is no excuse.” The illegality of some driving acts is apparent to most people such as violating the speed limit, running red lights, or passing a school bus while its lights are flashing. However, there are many ways that drivers can unknowingly commit negligent driving acts. If you get into an accident while doing any of these four examples of negligence, you could be.
Driving on our nation’s highways can be dangerous. It is even more dangerous to stop on the side of the road. Most highways and interstates have breakdown lanes. They appear wide enough to accommodate most vehicles that would need to stop there. Pulling over into a breakdown lane seems safe enough. It is not. Some states allow drivers to drive in the breakdown lane during rush hour traffic to reduce congestion. This practice adds to the many dangers of being stopped in the breakdown lane. Vehicles still have difficulties on.
Most of us have done it on road trips involving more than one car. That is, following a friend in another car because you don’t have the directions. If you’ve ever followed a friend, you may have found yourself taking more risks than you normally do. However, you aren’t the only person with this tendency.
