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. I’m really impressed with your writing skills as well as with the layout on your blog.
    Is this a paid theme or did you customize it yourself?
    Anyway keep up the nice quality writing, it is rare to see a great blog like this one these days.

  2. Woah! I’m really enjoying the template/theme of this website.
    It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s tough to get that “perfect balance” between user friendliness and visual appearance.

    I must say you have done a fantastic job with this.

    In addition, the blog loads very quick for me on Safari.
    Outstanding Blog!

  3. Admiring the persistence you put into your site and in depth information you provide.
    It’s nice to come across a blog every once in a while
    that isn’t the same out of date rehashed material.

    Fantastic read! I’ve bookmarked your site and I’m adding your RSS feeds to my Google account.

  4. Heya! I realize this is somewhat off-topic but I needed to ask.
    Does building a well-established blog like yours require a lot of work?
    I am completely new to running a blog however I do write in my diary everyday.

    I’d like to start a blog so I can share my experience and views online.
    Please let me know if you have any recommendations
    or tips for brand new aspiring bloggers. Thankyou!

  5. Hey I know this is off topic but I was wondering if you 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.

  6. First of all I want to say awesome blog! I had a quick question in which I’d
    like to ask if you do not mind. I was curious to find out how you center yourself and
    clear your thoughts before writing. I have had a hard time clearing my mind in getting my ideas
    out there. I do take pleasure in writing but it just seems like the first
    10 to 15 minutes are generally lost simply just trying to
    figure out how to begin. Any suggestions or tips?

    Many thanks!

  7. Definitely imagine that that you said. Your favourite justification appeared to be on the internet the simplest
    thing to be mindful of. I say to you, I certainly get annoyed even as other
    folks consider concerns that they plainly don’t recognise about.

    You controlled to hit the nail upon the highest and defined out the whole thing without having side-effects ,
    people could take a signal. Will likely be back to get more.
    Thank you

  8. Fantastic blog! Do you have any hints for aspiring writers?
    I’m hoping to start my own website soon but I’m a little lost on everything.
    Would you advise starting with a free platform like WordPress or go
    for a paid option? There are so many options out there that I’m totally confused ..
    Any recommendations? Bless you!

  9. I don’t know whether it’s just me or if everyone else encountering problems with your site.
    It appears like some of the written text in your content are running off the screen. Can somebody else please
    comment and let me know if this is happening to them
    too? This may be a issue with my web browser because I’ve had this happen previously.
    Thank you
