*In my safe driving lectures I address numerous driving behaviors that lead to the collisions we see on our roadways, one of those areas covered is “aggressive driving.” On this subject is the following…
My Special Dedication: When addressing the subject of aggressive driving I dedicate my talks to the memory of someone very special who was killed by an “aggressive driver” – his name is “Mr. Durham Sprague”. (Seated in the center above) He was a retired Carlsbad Firefighter, who raised 4 children, three of them sons, all Carlsbad Firefighters, along with a wonderful daughter, a newspaper/magazine journalist…and one of my best friends – Jeannie! (She’s seated on the far left in the picture above.)
Mr. Sprague was killed on hwy 805 near Murray Ridge as he attempted to merge into lanes when an aggressive-reckless driver, speeding and weaving through traffic, struck Mr. Sprague’s vehicle causing him to roll off the freeway. The driver who struck and killed Mr. Sprague had a history of reckless driving. Sadly, aggressive driving kills and injures everyday on our roadways. This type of driving which often leads to the road rage factor. My safety lectures address “aggressive driving” and curbing the rage. How to deal with stress and road rage, either your own rage or that of other drivers. My lectures will open your eyes to the dangers and how you can reduce the dangers on our roadways.
My dedication to safety is to provide my audience with a “professional and personal” look at what it takes to increase your survival on our streets and highways, and at home! How to avoid making the same mistakes others have made that caused their collision. I’ll make you more aware of the problems we see daily at our 9-1-1 emergency calls, what you may have missed hearing or seeing about in the news, and all the latest stats. My goal is to make you more aware of these problems that surround us to reduce the “risk factors” of having a collision. ”What you don’t know, can kill or injure you…or someone you care about!”
*These talks have been in big demand for driving education/training courses, schools(all levels), traffic schools, Life Skills Classes, Parenting classes, military safety stand downs and for company safety conferences and briefings. I do utilize some stats in my talks, but I put faces with those stats. Most are local faces, including yours truly. But keep in mind I do not “sugar coat” the issues since my goal is to save lives! (But for young children I am careful.)
*Parents of young children – did you know over 90% of safety car seats are not installed correctly. So you’ll know the law and what it takes to protect your children, check one or more of the following sites – Office of Traffic Safety, California Highway Patrol, Safety Belt Safe U.S.A. – or check my section on this web site regarding safety car seats – “Is Your Child Buckled Up Correctly?”
*Parents of teens! – Are you concerned about your teen driver(s)? You should be since the number one cause of death for our teenagers are traffic collisions! Did you also know “parents” are the direct role models for their children, especially in the area of “driving!” Listen to one of my lectures and you’ll learn how to be a safer role model for your family.
*Graduated Licensing Is Saving Lives” in reducing the death rate among teenage drivers! What is it, how does it work and what are the rules/laws? Check here – Graduated Licensing – compliments of the Automobile Club of Southern California .
Any of these talks have been ideal for company safety meetings & conferences.
If you’d like me to speak to your group just give me a call at (619) 460-0299 or e-mail me at monicazech@ cox.net . Yes – I can speak outside the El Cajon area. There may be a fee for certain talks delivered to companies, or company conferences – these talks, outside the city or state, are negotiable. There is usually not a charge for military bases, schools and non-profit groups. If long distance travel is involved there may be a small charge involved – but not for talks to our military.
