This Is Why It's Important To Always Drive At The Speed Limit!

Here's another example of the importance of obeying the speed limit--even when you think there's no other car around and therefore can safely take liberties with the limits imposed.

Luckily the occupants of the houses that were affected weren't hurt, though it appears that one of the houses is teetering on the brink of collapse. All because of the deadly stupid actions of a motorist who knew better.

The moral of this story is: even if you think it's safe to go over the speed limit because no other cars are on the road, you could still very easily lose control of your vehicle due to unexpected events--and lose your life in the process, as this driver did.

Based on the information in the article, how fast do you think he was driving to cause the damage that he did?

A Very Easily Preventable Tragedy

Here is a link to an article about an elderly woman whose unfortunate death was most probably caused because she forgot to set the parking brake on her car.

A tip: when you are learning to drive, get into the life saving habit of always setting the parking brake after you put the car in "Park". Even on level ground, this extra step will add a layer of protection should something occur with the car.

Another Heartbreaking Story

Another story in the San Diego North County Times about the untimely death of a teen driver, Michael Hoffman, just 18 years old. He was just 10 days shy of graduating from High School.

Firefighter Dad Helped After Son's Crash

How sad that we will never know if he indeed followed in his father and grandfather's footsteps to become a firefighter. We will never know how many lives he would have touched by his dedication to helping others in their time of need.

Be careful out there. Drive carefully. Cars can be replaced. People can't.

Alliance Defensive Driving School extends our deepest condolences to the Hoffman family for the loss of their son, Michael.
