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. Greetings I am so delighted I found your website, I really
    found you by mistake, while I was looking
    on Bing for something else, Anyhow I am here now and would just
    like to say thanks a lot for a incredible post and a all round interesting
    blog (I also love the theme/design), I don’t
    have time to read it all at the moment but I have book-marked it and also added your RSS feeds, so when I have time I will be
    back to read a lot more, Please do keep up the great work.

  2. Can I just say what a comfort to find someone that really understands
    what they’re discussing on the internet. You actually realize how
    to bring a problem to light and make it important.
    A lot more people have to look at this and understand this
    side of the story. I can’t believe you aren’t more popular since
    you surely have the gift.

  3. Appreciating the hard work you put into your website and in depth information you offer.

    It’s great to come across a blog every once in a while that isn’t
    the same out of date rehashed information. Excellent read!

    I’ve saved your site and I’m adding your RSS feeds to my Google
    account.

  4. Hello would you mind stating which blog platform you’re working with?

    I’m looking to start my own blog in the near future but I’m
    having a tough time making a decision between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.

    The reason I ask is because your design seems different
    then most blogs and I’m looking for something unique.
    P.S Sorry for being off-topic but I had to ask!

  5. Definitely believe that which you stated. Your favorite
    reason seemed to be on the net the easiest
    thing to be aware of. I say to you, I definitely get annoyed while people consider worries
    that they plainly don’t know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the
    top and defined out the whole thing without
    having side-effects , people could take a signal. Will likely be back to get more.
    Thanks

  6. I’ve been exploring for a bit for any high-quality articles or blog
    posts on this kind of space . Exploring in Yahoo I finally stumbled upon this site.

    Reading this information So i am happy to show that I’ve an incredibly excellent uncanny feeling
    I found out just what I needed. I so much indubitably will make sure to do not overlook
    this site and give it a look regularly.

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