The Dangers of Speeding

January 4, 2017 by Greg Owen

Speeding can cost you more than the price of an expensive ticket, it could cost you your life. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s latest report, 9,262 people were killed in 2014 as a result of speeding, a total of 28 percent of all fatal crashes. Speeding goes beyond exceeding the posted limit. A driver is considered to be speeding if they are driving at a speed that is unsafe for certain road conditions. Construction zones, school zones, curved or steep roads, and certain weather conditions all call for a reduced speed. When these conditions are ignored, the possibility of an automobile accident is greatly increased.

Parking Lot Safety Tips

November 8, 2016 by Greg Owen

untitled

Parking lots are often the most congested and busiest parts of the driving experience, yet as drivers, we don’t often associate it with risk and danger. It is important to remember that safe driving techniques need to be implemented the moment you get behind the wheel. A study by the Independent Insurance Agents and Brokers Association found that 20 percent of all accident related insurance claims were related to incidents that happened within the limits of the parking lot. With drivers and pedestrians not seeing the risk of these situations, these accidents will continue to happen. The next time you are searching the lot for a spot, remember the importance of these safe driving and parking techniques.

Defensive Driving Techniques to Keep You Safe on the Road

October 31, 2016 by Greg Owen

 

untitledAs soon as you pull out onto the road, you are responsible not only for the safety of yourself and your passengers, but also for the safety of the other drivers on the road. The National Safety Council defines defensive driving as, “driving to save lives, time, and money, in spite of the conditions around you and the actions of others.” Many drivers get behind the wheel without being conscious of the risk that is involved, and how their driving techniques affect the safety of others around them. The next time you get behind the wheel, keep these defensive driving techniques in mind.

Your child’s safety is your number one priority every time your teen gets behind the wheel.

New California Law will Prohibit Social Media Use while Driving

October 3, 2016 by Greg Owen

dd

The new bill, signed by governor Jerry Brown, expands on the current cell phone restrictions already in place. Effective January 1st, all hands-on cell phone use while behind the wheel will be illegal. This will include social media use, searching the Internet, music browsing, and GPS programming. The new bill, AB 1785, was created in response to the growing amount of social media use while driving, particularly in heavy, slow traffic. This has resulted in an increased amount of accidents and distracted driving since the previous bills, SB 1613 in 2006 prohibiting phone calls and SB 28 in 2008 prohibiting texting, were put into place.
