Auto Accidents

In 2007, senior citizens were responsible for around 15% of car crashes. This is based on statistics showing that older drivers aged 65 and over were involved in a significant proportion of traffic accidents that year.

Although young people may have better reaction times then senior citizens young males remain the group most involved in vehicle accidents. Older drivers are not involved in a disproportinate number of accidents nor are they the contributing cause when they are involved. They simply drive less and more cautiously, avoid distractions and maintain the speed limits. It is true that vision changes and reaction times should be monitored but contrary to popular belief, most senior drivers are not blind as a bat nor are they moving obstructions to the flow of normal traffic.

Statistically, younger drivers are involved in more accidents than older drivers. However, as people age, they may experience declines in certain cognitive and physical abilities that could affect their driving. It's important for older drivers to regularly assess their abilities and adjust their driving habits as needed.

No his father died of pneumonia and his mother died of natural causes.

In some cases, coffins are nailed shut for safety and security reasons to ensure the body stays intact during transportation and burial. This practice is not uncommon, even in cases where the cause of death is not related to the need for containment.

Jessica Savage

I think the correct spelling is "Jessica Savitch".

The accident occured the night of the Oak Hills High School homecoming dance, October 21, 1972. The location of the accident was the intersection of Taylor and Rybolt roads in Green Township, Cincinnati, OH. A car carrying six Oak Hills students was westbound on Taylor Rd. when a vehicle heading southbound on Rybolt Rd. at a high rate of speed became airborne cresting a hill on Rybolt and landed virtually on top of the student's car. Five of the six occupants were killed. Their names: Deborah Lyn Eckert, Cindy Jane Kreuzman, Kim Marie Wullenweber, Alan Surnbrock and Linda Diane May. It should be noted that the driver and passenger of the "airborne" vehicle both survived the accident. Both were determined to be legally intoxicated, having purchased alcoholic beverages using illicit identification. The outcome of this incident led indirectly to the initiation of the use of Photo Identification on all Ohio driver's licenses. A memorial fountain was erected the following year in a courtyard at Oak Hills High School dedicated to the memory of the five accident victims.

NO, IT DEPENDS ON THE SPEED AND TYPE OF VEHICLES INVOLVED IN THE ACCIDENT, AND WEATHER OR NOT PEOPLE ARE WEARING SEAT BELTS

You eventually die from bad luck that's now stuck to you and will never go away. RIP

birds hit cars

in the united states, about 1200 injury causing wrecks PER DAY due to an avoidable distraction. 20% of those wrecks are due to distraction by cell phone usage, which means 448,000 wrecks due to an avoidable distraction over the course of the year. 89,600 of those wrecks were due to a cell phone; 5,474 deaths last year (2009) due to an avoidable distraction and 995 of those deaths were due to cell phones. These numbers keep rising each year. So this answer will need to be updated continuously.

In order to answer this question more accurately i would need to know what time frame you would like to see the death / injury poll from texting and driving.

Texting while driving appears to be at least as dangerous as driving while highly intoxicated.

Just let them know that you are there for them anytime they need moral and/or emotional support. If you want to make the letter a long one, then you can include things you've been through that may be similar to what that person is going through. Not only will this give you more to write, but it will also let them know that you really do understand that kind of emotional pain.

But you should also try to include some things to try to cheer up the heartsick person. You can tell them about something funny you saw in a movie, some amusing things that your children, nieces/nephews, friend's children, etc. did, or something funny that happened or that was said at work. If you have pets, you can write about their latest antics, as well.

You can also include the normal, mundane things of everyday life, even things that angered you, such as a neighbor driving over your trash can or stealing your newspaper. Any thing you write will help the person get their mind off their pain, even if only for a short while.

Because it reduces the amount of available time needed to avoid a crash, increases the likelihood of crashing and increases the severity of a crash once it occurs

u stay in the car and not flat on the windscreen

• in Europe a motorist turning left in front of/beside a cyclist. in America this would prob be the opposite. 2nd a car coming towards you and turning to your left in front of you. 3 a car pulling out of a side street and misjudging or failing to see the cyclist and the cyclist hitting the front side of the car.

  be carefull out there!

• 1) a motorist turning left in the face 2)a motorist turning right across the path of the bicycle traffic 3) a motorist pulling away from a stop sign, failing to yield right-of-way to bicycle cross traffic(p.13-3)
• In the UK - the single most common accidents for motorcyclists stems from excessive speed - either the motorcyclist's excessive speed or that of the car or both. Two other motorcycle accidents include a vehicle turning out of a side road and faling to see the bike and accidents whilst a motorcycle is filtering - overtaking slow moving traffic.

There is not a great lot of horses injured in the world but there are a lot more injuries in America than any other country because of the sandy dirt which moves as they run over it its very unpredictable

Hey this is Mariela and just to let you know, about 3,490 drivers aged around 15-20 have died in car crashes in 2006.That's ALOT.

It takes longer for an impaired driver to process what is happening.

about 3,000

Nope . . . not even close. In high income societies like the US, the top killers are heart disease, stroke, lung diseases, and Alzheimer's. Road deaths are not in the top 10 causes of deaths.
