Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month Highlights the Need for Motorists to Stay Alert, says Legal Defenders at the Law Offices of Burg & Brock
The Los Angeles-based personal injury law firm comments on a recent article that driving safely should be a top priority all year.
LOS ANGELES, May 23, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- A May 3rd article from KEYT-TV reported on the Ventura Police Department's increased efforts to reduce motorcycle accidents as part of National Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month. In an effort to improve safety, Ventura police will be more vigilant in stopping all drivers and motorcyclists for driving offenses that increase risks for accidents. According to the department, motorcycle collisions have increased by 17 percent since 2015 and half of all fatal collisions in Ventura within the last two years involved motorcycles. Los Angeles based personal injury firm Legal Defenders at the Law Offices of Burg & Brock says that this initiative is a good reminder for all motorists to stay alert when on the road and to practice safe driving all year round for both their own well-being as well as their fellow drivers.
The legal team reminds drivers and motorcyclists to take proper precautions when on the road to reduce the risk of collisions and injuries. In a busy city such as Los Angeles where people often rush from one place to the next, Legal Defenders stresses the importance of slowing down when driving in order to prevent accidents. The firm also adds that making sure to check blind spots as well as using signals when turning or changing lanes can ensure the safety of all drivers and passengers.
As summer approaches, Los Angeles becomes even more crowded with vacationing tourists. The Law Offices of Burg & Brock say that the increase in traffic, especially from those unfamiliar with the area, can make roads more prone to accidents. Staying aware of one's surroundings, whether they're motorists, cyclists, or pedestrians, can ensure a safe journey from one location to the next.
Even though it may take a few extra minutes to get to one's destination, notes Burg & Brock, taking the time to drive cautiously is priceless compared to the cost, time, energy, and physical toll getting into a collision can cause. The legal team says that risking one's own safety or the safety of other motorists, passengers, or pedestrians is never worth the consequences. Legal Defenders comments that planning for traffic and even leaving just five minutes early to drive to one's next appointment without rushing can make all the difference between a successful journey and a life-changing collision.
