Spring break is approaching and that means families and college students will be hitting the road. Before you leave for your vacation, it's important to review the traffic regulations in the areas that you’ll be driving through so that you can more safely share the road with other vehicles. Automobile drivers need to be particularly mindful of motorcyclists when they travel. The consequences of a collision between a car and a motorcycle can be catastrophic. This is partially because cars are typically larger and more enclosed than motorcycles. Also, most cars are equipped with airbags, which c ..read more

Members of the general public generally believe that they can successfully file an insurance claim after any kind of major collision. For the most part, that is a reasonable belief. After all, California law requires every driver to either make a cash deposit with the Department of Motor Vehicles or carry liability insurance. People assume that they can receive coverage that pays for the damage to their vehicle and their injuries, as well as any wages they cannot earn because of the crash. While those assumptions are theoretically reasonable, people may drastically overestimate what insurance ..read more

Texting and driving is illegal, and it’s also dangerous. If you’ve ever tried it, you can quickly tell just how distracted you are. It can be difficult just to check notifications while the car is in motion – let alone actually typing a text message – and anything that takes your eyes off of the road increases the odds of an accident. With this in mind, some drivers may start thinking about sending or reading those text messages whenever they get to a red light. After all, the car isn’t moving, so shouldn’t that be safe? Isn’t that a good way to stay connected and also avoid causing a car acci ..read more

Although you can find exceptions, rural roads do tend to be a bit simpler than city streets. A city street may have multiple lanes, intersections every few hundred yards and heavy traffic loads. People who are not used to driving in the city often find this to be overstimulating, and it can lead to mistakes. By contrast, rural roads are more likely to be straight and wide, with just two lanes of traffic and a shoulder on either side. There is usually far less traffic due to the fact that most people live in urban areas. Does this mean cities are safer? No, this does not mean that city streets ..read more

Antilock brakes (ABS) are ubiquitous on passenger cars, trucks and SUVs that travel on California roads and highways. However, they are not required to be installed on motorcycles in the United States, which may put them at a greater risk of getting into an accident. Why anti-lock brakes are helpful Without an ABS system in your vehicle, your wheels could potentially freeze in place if you hit the brake pedal too hard. This prevents you from steering or taking other evasive maneuvers to correct a skid or avoid a wreck. On a motorcycle, an ABS system enables you to maximize the traction that yo ..read more

Car crashes in California can cause many different types of injuries. People sometimes suffer catastrophic injuries that forever alter their employment or lifestyle. Others may develop conditions that require medical care but which typically respond to treatment, like broken bones or whiplash. There's often an assumption that non-permanent injuries are minor concerns. Whiplash and other soft tissue injuries, for example, often do not receive appropriate respect after collisions. People act as though whiplash is a minor inconvenience. In reality, whiplash could potentially lead to massive finan ..read more

As the most populous state in the country, California has the most vehicles out on the road at any given time, often operating in heavy traffic and at close quarters. And this poses a significant threat toward pedestrians who share the space with cars, trucks, SUVs and other motor vehicles. Over the years, pedestrian accidents are becoming deadlier. And while there are multiple factors involved, one of the most important is the fact that the average vehicle is larger and heavier than ever. Why are motor vehicles growing larger? There are two main reasons why the average vehicle on the road in ..read more
