Personalized license plates offer vehicles the opportunity to stand out from a sea of mundane state issued license plane numbers. Applying for a personalized plate varies from state to state and often takes a special committee from the Department of Motor Vehicles to accept the requested plates. These committees are in place to ensure that the context of the plates is neither offensive towards the general public, nor deceptive towards Federal records. Considering that hundreds of thousands of applications are submitted every year to the DMV for approval there are always a few clever messages that manage to make it onto the public roads to be seen by everyday commuters. Some of these plates make it onto blog websites and news stories; others can cause car accidents and the need for a car accident lawyer.

Riverside County Distraction-Related Accidents

Category: Blog, Car Accident Tags: , , Leave a Comment

Driving a vehicle is a skill which requires cognitive, visual and manual attention. Complete attention is a must to reduce the risk of a car accident. The Department of Motor Vehicles has identified that those events or things that take from your attention while driving are considered distractions. Driving is a complex coordination that occurs between the mind and the body, therefore when you think of actions other than driving; they take away from the essential driving coordination which is needed to safely maneuver a vehicle. Accidents can occur at any time and have an increased risk of happening when a party involved in the accident is distracted. Simply veering attention off the road and onto the dash to press a button on the dash or radio can pose a distraction and can cause an accident.

SF Hybrid Taxi Thief Fail

Category: Blog, Car Accident Tags: , ,

With a simple hail, a taxi cab can swiftly transport people around towns, cities, and communities. Perhaps the most nationally recognized taxi cabs are New York’s cabs pained in the iconic yellow with black checkers. Although a cabs fare costs more than most local public transportation, the convenience that comes from riding a cab is worth paying the fare. A cab does not waste time picking and dropping other people off at every street nor does it risk transporting complete strangers, it caters to you. You are taken to your location; pay the fare and the cab drives off with your money – cash usually. Knowing that the cab driver carries cash seems to grab the attention of thieves looking to make a quick score.

Video Calls: The Future Source of Car Accidents

Category: Blog, Car Accident Tags: , , Leave a Comment

Video calling has come a long way in the past few decades. It began in the fifties and was known as videotelephony. Between the fifties and the nineties, still images would be portrayed through projector type apparatus refreshing the image of the person on the other line every few seconds over what is known as a POTS-type telephone line connection. The technology is more akin to slow scan TV systems. Technologic evolution and the development of video codec and high bandwidth internet communication services over the past few years have helped speed up the process and the practicality of video communication.

California’s Autonomous Future

Category: Blog, Car Accident Tags: , , Leave a Comment

In an effort to reduce the number of yearly highway fatalities in California, its Senate has passed a bill that will permit the use of self-driving cars on its roads. Heavy commuters and drivers who often find themselves distracted behind the wheel can breathe a little bit easier and get back to whatever they were doing while the vehicle does all the driving. It will be like having a personal chauffer who can always be up-to-date with simple software updates. With the passing of this bill roads filled with autonomous vehicles can not only make driving more safe, but more enjoyable as well.

Alleged Los Angeles Drunk Driver Kills 3

Category: Blog, Car Accident Tags: , , Leave a Comment

Nationwide Memorial Day commemorates United States soldiers who give up their lives to protect and serve the country. Tradition has it that groups of volunteers meet at grave yards and adorn the grave sites of fallen soldiers with small U.S. flags and flowers. Recognized as a national holiday, most citizens are offered to take the day off and observe it giving them the opportunity to spend it together. It is no surprise that families and friends gather at public places for picnics, attend city sponsored events or use the three day weekend to visit each other. The sight of families packed in cars on congested roads is not an aberration, nor is the fact that while Memorial Day weekend brings families together, a drunk driver can break them apart.
