Driving at night increases the risk of an accident

E.L. Doctorow said, “You never see further than your headlights, but you can make the whole trip that way.” Most people can, but night time driving is more dangerous than during daylight hours, simply because of reduced visibility. Add to it drivers who are drunk or drugged, or distracted, and things become very dangerous. Nightime driving increases the chance of an accident. You might have seen cars that are missing a working head or tail light, or no lights at all, their drivers seemingly oblivious. It is against the rules of the road to drive without adequate lighting at night because this kind of negligence can bring on accidents with catastrophic results. If you have been hit by a driver who was not operating a safe vehicle, or hit you because of negligence, your life has been impacted far beyond the initial hit.

Head-On Car Crashes Can Have Devastating Consequences for Bellingham Drivers

One of the worst possible crashes are head-on collisions. The injuries can be catastrophic, even fatal. These crashes can happen on highways, two-lane roads, and intersections. With increasing instances of distracted driving, and the dangers of drunk and drugged driving, we see these types of collisions every day somewhere in the country. It is, obviously, against the law to travel in the same lanes as oncoming traffic, and the laws that govern Bellingham and Whatcom County are no different. Before financial compensation can be given, victims injured in a head-on collision have to prove liability. If police cite the other driver for the crash due to the statute that makes head-on collisions a crime, this process can be easier. Learn more about your options if you have been the victim of a head on collision in Bellingham or Whatcom County.

Tips on keeping teenaged drivers safe

It's no surprise that younger drivers are involved with accidents more often than older drivers. Experience and maturity change so many of our decisions; what might have made sense at 16 seems unconscionable at 36 (and, in many ways, vice versa). However, looking at the disparity in motor vehicle accidents is shocking. Research shows that it doesn't take much before alcohol has an effect on someone's ability to drive - even well below the legal limits for a traffic offense. In a study conducted by researchers at Texas A&M University, "Tests showed that at .04, again one-half the level of legal intoxication, drivers had trouble with such skills as skid control, crash simulation and other maneuvering tests through stationary cones," Dr. Maurice Dennis said. Here are some tips on keeping teenage drivers safe and accident free.
