Safe Communities of Wood County February 2019 Press Release

Safe Communities announced today that there have been zero fatal crashes in Wood County this year compared to zero at this time last year.  Let’s keep this trend going!

Rear-end and fixed object crashes are the major causes of crashes in Wood County.  Common factors that contribute to these type of collisions include:

  • Aggressive or reckless driving.
  • Texting and driving.
  • Speeding.
  • Driver fatigue.
  • Tailgating.
  • Negligence while driving through intersections, parking lots, and highway ramps.
  • Failure to follow the rules of the road.

You can prevent these crashes by remembering these simple rules:

  • Look further up the road to spot traffic stopping long before the vehicle in front of you slams on its brakes.
  • Stay focused on your driving
  • Leave 2-3 vehicle lengths between you and the car in front of you
  • Do not drive in excess of the speed limit
  • Do not drive drowsy or impaired
  • If there is poor visibility, be cautious and drive within your abilities.

Let’s strive for zero fatal crashes in 2019.

  1. Its like you read my mind! You appear to know a lot approximately
    this, like you wrote the ebook in it or something. I feel
    that you simply can do with a few percent to power the message home a bit, but instead of that, this
    is magnificent blog. A fantastic read. I’ll certainly be back.

  2. When I originally commented I appear to have clicked on the -Notify
    me when new comments are added- checkbox and now every time a
    comment is added I recieve four emails with the exact same comment.
    Perhaps there is a way you are able to remove me from that
    service? Appreciate it!

  3. I was wondering if you ever thought of changing the page layout of your blog?
    Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little
    more in the way of content so people could connect with
    it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1
    or two images. Maybe you could space it out better?

  4. Howdy! This is kind of off topic but I need some guidance from an established blog.
    Is it hard to set up your own blog? I’m not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty quick.

    I’m thinking about creating my own but I’m not sure where to begin. Do you have any points or suggestions?
    Thanks

  5. Heya terrific blog! Does running a blog similar to this take a great deal of work?
    I’ve absolutely no understanding of coding but I was hoping to start my own blog in the near future.
    Anyway, should you have any recommendations or techniques for new blog
    owners please share. I know this is off subject however
    I just needed to ask. Appreciate it!

  6. I like the valuable information you supply for your
    articles. I’ll bookmark your blog and check again here regularly.
    I am rather certain I will learn a lot of new stuff proper right here!

  7. Wow that was strange. I just wrote an really
    long comment but after I clicked submit my comment didn’t show
    up. Grrrr… well I’m not writing all that over again. Anyhow, just wanted
    to say wonderful blog!

  8. I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own weblog and was wondering what all
    is needed to get setup? I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny?
    I’m not very web savvy so I’m not 100% positive.
    Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Is that this a paid theme or did you modify it
    your self? Anyway keep up the nice quality writing, it is rare to peer a nice blog like
    this one nowadays..

  11. certainly like your website but you have to take a look at the spelling on quite a
    few of your posts. A number of them are rife with spelling
    issues and I in finding it very bothersome to tell the reality then again I’ll definitely come again again.

  12. I’m really loving the theme/design of your weblog. Do you ever run into any internet browser compatibility problems?
    A small number of my blog readers have complained about my blog not operating correctly
    in Explorer but looks great in Opera. Do you have any recommendations to help
    fix this problem?

  13. Howdy! This article couldn’t be written any better!
    Reading through this article reminds me of my previous roommate!
    He constantly kept talking about this. I will send this post to
    him. Pretty sure he’s going to have a good read.
    Thank you for sharing!

  14. Hi there! I know this is somewhat off topic but I was wondering if you knew where I could get a captcha plugin for my comment form?
    I’m using the same blog platform as yours and I’m
    having trouble finding one? Thanks a lot!

  15. Hi superb blog! Does running a blog such as this take a great deal of work?
    I’ve virtually no expertise in programming
    but I had been hoping to start my own blog in the near future.
    Anyhow, should you have any recommendations or tips for new
    blog owners please share. I understand this is off topic however I simply needed to ask.

    however I assumed this submit used to be good. I do
    not understand who you’re but certainly you are going to a famous blogger
    if you happen to are not already. Cheers!

  18. An outstanding share! I’ve just forwarded this onto a coworker who has been conducting a little research on this.
    And he actually ordered me lunch simply because I discovered it for him…
    lol. So let me reword this…. Thanks for the meal!!
    But yeah, thanks for spending the time to talk about
    this issue here on your blog.

  19. Hello, I think your website might be having browser compatibility issues.
    When I look at your website in Safari, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer,
    it has some overlapping. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up!
    Other then that, very good blog!
