Phone use while driving creates as many accidents and injuries as drunk driving. Don't TEXT while driving...The lives you save may be your own loved ones.

DO NOT TEXT WHILE DRIVING; ONE TEXT OR CALL CAN END IT ALL!

If you text and drive, you’re 23 times more likely to have a car crash.

Texting while driving has become the number one driving distraction for many people. Drivers need to be aware of the dangers and keep their attention on the road, not on their cell phones or other mobile devices. Parkview Trauma Centers have developed the Don’t Text & Drive campaign to help educate communities and stop preventable tragedies.

Educate yourself. Take the pledge. Share the message. Don’t Text & Drive.

Courtesy of the California Highway Patrol and Automobile Club of Southern California, here's the list of laws you will all need to follow beginning Jan. 1 (unless noted).

Distracted driving: Driving while using phones in a handheld manner is already illegal. Beginning July 1, 2021, a point will be added to a driver's record for each similar violation that occurs within 36 months of a previous conviction.

Bike laws: Bicyclists will be allowed to travel straight through a right- or left-turn-only lane at an intersection if a traffic signal indicates it's allowed. The California Department of Transportation will develop appropriate lane striping, signage and pavement markings.

A handful of traffic laws will go into effect Wednesday for California motorists and they apply to both road behavior and behind-the-scenes policies.

We saw another rear end collision today, They happen all the time.

Keys to avoiding the expense, pain and hassle of running into the car in front of you:

1. Keep your mind on your driving.
2. Keep your hands on the wheel.
3. Don't multitask while driving.
4. Keep your eyes on the road ahead.
5. Keep at least 1 car length between the car in front for every 10 mph of speed you travel.
6. Remember, if you rear end another car.... it is almost always your fault and your insurance rates go up.
7. It also a good idea to watch your rear view mirrors to look out for the car behind you.
8. Leave 2-3 car lengths in front of you when you are stopped in traffic in case the distracted driver behind you does not follow the above rules.

Stay Safe!

April is National Distracted Driving Awareness Month and https://www.GoLaw.com brings awareness to this epidemic which is causing so many accidents and taking away far too many lives.

Each day in the United States over 9 people are killed and 1,000 are injured in crashes that are reported to involve a distracted driver. (CDC)

The most common motor vehicle collision case we have handled in 39 years of practice are rear end collisions and almost all are due to distracted or impaired (drug & alcohol) drivers.

In the time it takes you to enter an address into a map app on your phone, or type a message to a friend you will travel up to a football field or more. In fact, texting while driving makes a crash 23 times more likely.

In almost every auto collision case I handle as a auto accident attorney, I see people do not carry the correct insurance limits and coverage. Make sure you meet your auto insurance agent regularly and raise your limits to protect you and your family. Uninsured Motorist Coverage is very important for you and your passengers.
