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.

    got your design. With thanks

    your articles? I mean, what you say is fundamental and everything.

    But think about if you added some great photos or videos to give your posts more, “pop”!
    Your content is excellent but with images and video clips, this

    field. Good blog!

    Thanks a lot!

    knew of any widgets I could add to my blog that automatically tweet my
    newest twitter updates. I’ve been looking for a plug-in like this for quite some time
    and was hoping maybe you would have some experience with something like this.
    Please let me know if you run into anything.
    I truly enjoy reading your blog and I look forward to your new updates.

    colleague who has been doing a little homework on this.

    But yeah, thanx for spending the time to talk about this
    topic here on your site.

    high quality writing, it’s rare to peer a great blog like this
    one nowadays..

    Is anyone else having this problem or is it a issue on my end?
    I’ll check back later and see if the problem still exists.

  16. An intriguing discussion is worth comment. I do believe that you
    need to write more on this subject matter, it might not be a taboo matter but generally people do not talk
