Michigan Car Accident Lawyers Offer Safety Advice For Eliminating Blind Spots

Posted on January 20th 2012

Our Michigan car accident lawyers understand the dangers of blind spots as many auto accidents occur due to the fact that a driver did not see another vehicle, in other words, their “blind spot.” With a few simple adjustments blind spots can be eliminated or at least minimized. Here a few tips to help elimate blind spots: 

  • Learn your head over until it almost touches the driver’s window, and then position the side mirror on the car’s left side so you can just see the rear quarterpannel (the rear of the car) in the mirror.
  • Lean your head to the right to align it with the center of the car
  • Adjust the center rearview mirror to place it facing the center of the rear window
  • While driving notice that a car passing you begins in the center of your rear view mirror. As it approaches you, it moves to the side of your center rear view mirror, and at the same time appears in your side mirror.
  • Also notice that your side mirrors now capture a tremendous additional amount of information about what is in the lanes immediately next to your car. Previously you would have to turn your head to ensure no car was in the lanes beside your car before changing lanes.

These changes can eliminate a significant amount of accidents on the road. Saving a life is always worth the effort in changing safety procedures.

Michigan Car Accident Lawyers Advise Drivers To Not Text While Driving

Posted on January 19th 2012

Our Michigan car accident lawyers realize the dangers of texting while driving and you should too. Put your phone on silent and out of sight, so you won’t be tempted to answer it. Is sending a text worth risking your life?

According to CBS News these are recent statistics that have been collected through different surveys and studies.

  • The average teen sends or receives an average of 2,899 text-messages per month
  • 61 percent of teens admit to risky driving habits. Forty-six percent of that 61 percent say that they text message while driving.
  • Texting took a driver’s focus away from the road for an average of 4.6 seconds, enough time to travel the length of a football field at 55 mph.
  • In 2009, 5,474 people were killed in the U.S. because of accidents that involved distracted driving. Another 448,000 were injured.
  • Of the 5,474 killed because of distracted driving, 995 involved reports of a cell phone as a factor. However, the number of fatalities caused by cell phone use could be much higher. For those who were injured, 24,000 involved reports of cell phone use as a distraction.
  • One-fifth of qualified drivers in the United States of America send texts while driving.

These statistics are scary but factual. Eliminate car accidents by resisting the urge to text. Save a Life!
