How To Avoid Getting A Dui

Posted by Patrick Treither in Uncategorized, tags: , , , , , , , ,

In the US, motor vehicle accidents claim nearly 40,000 lives and leave 270,000 people injured and taken to the emergency department for treatment each year. Regrettably, most of those injuries and fatalities could have been avoided with responsible driving. For instance, 1,300 children could have been saved each year had their parents bought age and weight appropriate booster seats and properly installed these. Also, studies have shown that about 30% of the car accident fatalities can be attributed to driving above the speed limits and 33% and above because of reckless driving that causes the car to go off the road and result in an accident. As records reveal in 2009, twelve thousand people wouldn’t have had to endure weeks, months, or years of staying in the hospital for vehicle-related injuries and four-hundred fifty people could still be around by now had seatbelt regulations been strictly imposed and actually put into practice by car owners.
