All drivers get road rage at some point. But, do you live in one of the top 10 states with the most confrontational drivers? Researchers surveyed 10,000 U.S. licensed drivers at least 18 years old and own or lease at least one car about these nine metrics: 1. Another driver has forced their car off the road 2. Another driver has exited their vehicle to yell at or fight with them 3. Experienced road rage very frequently from other drivers in their home state 4. Another driver has tried to block their car from merging or changing lanes 5. Another driver has cut them off on purpose 6. Another driver has tailgated their car 7. Another driver has yelled at them, insulted them, cursed at them or made threats 8. Another driver has honked at them in frustration 9. Another driver has made rude or offensive gestures at them We're not happy that our home state of Indiana is on this list, btw. 😟 #RoadRage #tailgating #drivers

A fully loaded traffic trailer can weigh as much as 80,000 pounds. Given the incredible size of large trucks, it is not surprising that they pose a heightened safety risk to other road users, including drivers, passengers, motorcyclists, bicyclists, and pedestrians. Unfortunately, when tractor-trailer accidents happen, they have a serious potential to cause catastrophic, even life-changing injuries. Some of the most common injuries reported in tractor-trailer accidents include: ➡️ Spinal cord trauma ➡️ Amputations ➡️ Internal organ damage ➡️ Traumatic brain injuries For all your questions and concerns, please feel free to reach out to us and schedule a free consultation. 📞 305.249.1431 #DDRB #DDRBLaw #Lawyer #TruckInjury #RoadAccident #Injury #PersonalInjury #Negligence #LegalAction #PersonalInjuryAttorney #TruckDriver #FloridaLaw #MiamiLawyer #Truck #TruckAccident #LegalAction #Compensation #injury

Accidents at intersections are incredibly common in and around Columbia. Unfortunately, intersections also see some of the most dangerous accidents in the United States. Accidents in the roadway are often limited to rear-end and sideswipe accidents, which are less likely to result in serious or fatal injuries. Intersection collisions may result in catastrophic damage. Motorcyclists, in particular, are at serious risk of severe injury and mental trauma in intersection accidents. Learn more about these collisions, and when you’re ready to discuss your claim in greater detail, call Peake & Fowler at 803-788-4370. #intersectionaccidents #motorcycleaccidents #peakefowler

Hard hitting and scary stats - https://lnkd.in/ed_QcqGN Hopefully one or two "boy racers" will see this news story and think twice about the way they drive. "The BBC uncovered an alarming trend of young men filming themselves driving dangerously and posting their exploits on social media for "likes" "Government casualty statistics state "young male car drivers are four times as likely to be killed or seriously injured" compared with all older drivers". "DVLA data, given to the BBC in response to Freedom of Information requests, showed 4,912 men aged 17 to 24 were convicted of dangerous or careless driving offences in 2023, receiving endorsement codes on their licences. The number of convictions for women in the same age group was 549. And 3,625 young men received penalties for drug-driving and 4,434 for drink-driving. The figures for women were 301 and 942, respectively." Something really does need to be done - my son is at University and the thought of him getting into a friend's car worries me more than anything else. I must admit I agree with the thoughts of Dr Box and Dr Helman and support the idea of graduated driving licences. #driversafety #drivingsafety Sophie L.

Don't be an aggressive driver. In 2023 Aggressive Driving contributed to nearly 14,000 crashes in Idaho, 103 of those resulted in a fatality. 39% of Idaho’s fatal crashes also involved some form of aggressive driving behavior. In 2022, the Idaho Office of Highway Safety also reported drivers who were 19 and younger were four times as likely to be involved in aggressive driving crashes compared to all other drivers. A large number of these crashes may have been avoided had a practice of good driving habits been utilized. Bonneville County Sheriff’s Deputies want to remind motorists that good driving habits can prevent these types of crashes. Traffic laws are in place to help maintain safe and efficient flow of traffic for everyone, however drivers who are going too fast for conditions or over the posted speed limit, cut in front of other drivers, or fail to properly yield for traffic lights and stop signs disrupt that safe flow and place everyone at increased risk. Our Deputies constantly witness motorists who weave in and out of traffic, pass over the double yellow lines, and change lanes without signaling only to end up at the same intersections with the rest of flowing traffic. Driving aggressively does not save a significant amount of time in your typical day, but it’s guaranteed to add risk to yourself and others. To help educate aggressive drivers, the Bonneville County Sheriff’s Office is participating with the Idaho Office of Highway Safety and Law Enforcement across the state to mobilize extra Deputies on our roads through the end of March. These Deputies will be looking for and intercepting aggressive drivers in high traffic areas in hopes to lower the risk to our community and promote safer driving habits. Drivers who plan ahead and set a good example with their driving habits influence others on the roads will likely avoid being involved in a crash or being cited for traffic violations. The choices you make while behind the wheel can make a difference in whether or not you get home safely. Never let your emotions control those choices by violating traffic laws, taking aggressive actions, or engaging with others who do. We encourage parents to continually talk to their kids about safe driving and set the example with your own safe driving habits.

With more than 120,000 miles of paved roadways, scenic detours, and exciting city streets, there’s a road trip for every motorcyclist’s preference in Michigan. Unfortunately, the state is not immune to motorcycle accidents. According to Michigan Traffic Crash Facts, there were 3,175 motorcycle-involved crashes in 2021 alone. Michigan has a lower-than-average number of motorcycle drivers, but this high number of accidents means that Michigan may experience more than its fair share of motorcycle accidents. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gdzQhPsm #AtnipAssociates #MetroDetroitLaw #LegalAdvocacy #LegalExperienceMatters #AwardWinningAttorneys #ClientFirstApproach #YourLegalFamily
