Safety Tips for the Season of Road Trips

by Administrator 14. July 2010 01:56

ABC's Good Morning America reports that summer is the time of roadtrips, and, while most of us are aware of the dangers in the car, there is one area that we always overlook. George Clark of Wisconsin learned this lesson the hard way.

Clark was coming back from a Boyscout Leader retreat when a car pulled in front of them. Their vehicle hit the car while traveling 50 miles an hour when, "the untethered child booster seat next to Clark slammed into his head, crushing his cheekbone and jaw," reports Good Morning America. After multiple reconstructive surgeries, Clark is ok but wants to warn others of the dangers of unsecured items in the car.

Good Morning America writes that anything that is not secured can become a projectile in a crash scenario. The faster your car is driving, the more force the projectile will have when it hits you. When you pack for your next roadtrip, make sure you secure all items. It's best to just store all your travel belongings in the trunk. Good Morning America reports, "At 55 miles per hour, a 20-pound object hits with 1,000 pounds of force -- so powerful that a suitcase can literally sever the arm of a crash test dummy." It's best not to take any chances.

States Allow Signs to Remember Drunk Driving Victims

by Administrator 7. July 2010 01:52

Wisconsin is one of six states that offers state-sanctioned signs for victims of drunk driving-related motor vehicle accidents. The signs serve both as a memorial and a safety reminder. States have long been concerned about the makeshift memorials that dot the highway. They fear the remembrances can cause drivers to be distracted or that families can be injured when creating these makeshift graves alongside the highway. Although these memorials are typically illegal, most law enforcement have trouble telling families no because they are overwhelmed with sympathy. 

The new state-sanctioned signs are catching on. States are charging anywhere from $150 to $1,000. They remain in place from one to 10 years. Drunk driving victims' families have been fighting to get these signs for years. 

Gail Rehme's brother was killed by a drunk driver. He and his girlfriend were on their way back from a Cardinals game on his motorcycle. They pulled over on the shoulder to clean up a spilled soda when they were struck by a drunk driver. Rehme had the signs legalized in Missouri, and dubbed the law, "David's Law," after her brother. His was the first sign planted along Missouri's I-270.
