It’s not uncommon to see debris on the road and its shoulders. Some of it, such as chunks of tire tread, often come from commercial trucks. However, the driving public contribute to the problem when they carry cargo on top of their vehicles or in trailers. If these items were properly secured, road debris wouldn’t be as big a problem that it currently is. Mattresses held on the tops of cars by a few bungee cords, overloaded pickup trucks with open tailgates, or trailers filled with loose items are examples of people unwilling to take.

When one vehicle collides into the side of another, it’s called a broadside accident. For motorists, broadside accidents are dangerous because only a metal and glass door separates the victim from the colliding vehicle.

The area of impact occurs at the motorcyclist’s legs and hip area. This causes fractures to the leg and hip. Injury can occur to the organs within the hip area such as the intestines,.

People often regard their cars much like their walking shoes. Shoes are essential for getting around the home and one’s property, while cars are essential for getting around town and elsewhere. Too many people do about as much planning for road trips as they do for a casual walk. This is a mistake because driving in a car is more dangerous by a wide margin than walking around in shoes. While short and familiar local trips in a well maintained car require little if any preparation, embarking on a longer.

Brake checking is the practice of hitting the brakes to make a tailgater increase their following distance. Drivers often use brake checking as a kind of counter-measure against aggressive drivers or as a means of retaliation.
