A powerful video reminding us to “slow down” especially on surface streets, especially in the area around schools:

Another excellent video on the hazards of texting and general phone use behind the wheel  – perfect for ALL age groups!

A very good public service anouncement on the “dangers” of texting while driving – click on the following link:

An amazing video on the dangers of texting and driving.  A must see for everyone – especially teens.  It’s against the law in California to text and drive, but you still see people doing this – and we still see the collisions as a result…just like in this video.

Please watch the whole video.  This is a very powerful and somewhat graphic DUI message.  Not a sugar-coated message.  Sadly, it’s what we see everyday as an emergency agency – the ‘end results” – the tragic consequences when someone chooses to drink and drive…when someone thinks they need alcohol to have a “good time”…and how far too often the innocent are affected. When your evening out or celebration includes alcohol – please plan ahead for a SOBER designated driver.  Be a designated driver, or call a cab or a friend to get you home safely.

Use caution at ALL intersections.  Motorists in a RUSH are speeding up or often “flooring it” for a YELLOW light a block or two away – and often end up running a RED light by 3 to 6 seconds.  If someone waiting at the RED light is not alert and drives off quickly, as soon as the light turns Green, the two shall meet with a very dangerous side impact crash.  Most of the collisions emergency crews respond to are at intersections and are usually caused by RED LIGHT RUNNERS!

Reasons motorists run RED LIGHTS?  Some drivers are on cell phones, text messaging, sleepy, DUI…or sadly “don’t care” and will do what you’ll see in this scary red light runner video – WATCH & DRIVE carefully:

An example of very scary red light runner – be VERY alert at intersections!  For a driving safety lecture on these and other bad driving habits that injure & kill, contact me at (619) 219-9030  – or email me at [email protected].  I’ll help to reduce the risk factors of having a collision.

Keep in mind…”you” see the people who make it through the intersection when running RED lights, in EMS – “we” see the people who don’t make it.  See another video proving the dangers if RED light running:
