Driving while sleepy can be dangerous

I posted a new article about National Drowsy Driving Prevention Week and a few warning signs and tips on how to recognize the signs of driver fatigue.

Make sure that you don't drive when you are sleepy. It is better to pull off the road and take a nap than to risk wrecking your car. Sleepy drivers cause thousands of accidents each year and it can be worse than driving drunk.

Please be careful out there.

More Virginia Car and Truck Drivers with No Insurance

Last year Virginia DMV suspended the licenses of over 432,000 Virginia drivers for not being able to pay fees related to driving fines. Many of these people have not stopped driving, which means that more and more Virginia drivers are driving without any kind of insurance.

Many people are losing their jobs and are unable to pay the fines they get for traffic tickets. A lot of them are still driving to look for work or keep the jobs they have and thus there are more uninsured motorists on the road now. The problem is getting worse every day and is leading to an increase in hit-and-run accidents.

It is very important for you to make sure that you have enough uninsured motorist insurance because your chances of getting in a wreck with an uninsured motorist is increasing every day. Please read my library article about the importance of having plenty of uninsured motorist insurance. One bad accident where you are hit by an unisured driver could lead to hundreds of thousands of dolars in medical bills and bancruptcy for you and your family.

Please protect yourself, the cost is minimal and the risks are increasing every day.

Tips on Preventing Auto Accidents in Richmond, Virginia

Every year hundreds of people are killed or injured on Virginia's roads and highways. According to the Accidents.com website, there were 963 people involved in fatal accidents in Virginia during 2006. Of these deaths, 17 were killed on expressways or freeways in Virginia while 144 fatalities involved local Virginia roads.

In order to help prevent an increase in these statistics, we'd like to share some tips on how to prevent auto accidents:
•    Make sure your car is properly maintained on a regular basis. Inspect your tires weekly and change the oil according to the manufacturer's recommendation.
•    Always, always, always wear your seatbelt. Even if you're just going around the block or down the street, put on that seatbelt. They say that most car accidents happen within 1.4 miles from the home.
•    Get plenty of sleep before taking a road trip. If you plan on driving a long distance, take frequent rest breaks.
•    Know what the road conditions are before you drive and plan accordingly.
•    Do not drink and drive. Period.
•    Do not use your cell phone while driving. If you absolutely must use your phone, make sure to use a hands-free device.
•    Do not speed in order to get somewhere on time. Other people can get over you being late. Wouldn't you rather get there late than not at all?

One of the best ways to prevent car accidents in Virginia (or anywhere else, for that matter) is to create awareness and educate people, especially young drivers, about driving safe. Do everyone a favor and pass on this article to friends and family!

Richmond VA Invests Least in Pedestrians

In the last 15 years more than 76,000 American pedestrians have been killed, mostly children, the elderly and ethnic minorities. Most of these accidents happened on roads that were not designed for pedestrian traffic. People that get hit by cars often die and rarely escape serious personal injury.

Transportation for America has released a new study last Monday called Dangerous By Design that looks at ways to fix problems in pedestrian transportation infrastructure.

Richmond, VA was the most dangerous city in the commonwealth for pedestrians, ranking 24 out of 52 cities in the US with a population of a million or more. Richmond also spends less money than any of the cities on infrastructure for pedestrian and bicycle use.

This is easy to see in the Richmond area. There are many roads with no sidewalks at all and very few bike paths. It is no wonder that it is so dangerous to walk in Richmond. I frequently see pedestrians and bicyclists in the street because there is no where else for them to travel.

Instead of dumping more money into supporting cars, it is time to start thinking of alternatives. There are more people than ever looking for a different way to travel. It is time to sttart spending money on their safety.

If you or your loved one has been injured or killed in a pedestrian or bike accident then do yourself a favor and get some good FREE information from my new FREE book Accident Injury Book: Hidden Inside Secrets Big Insurance Companies Don't Want You to Know About Your Injury Claim. You need to read this before you talk to anybody or sign any papers. Get it now.
