Even in plain view, motorist are killed or injured because of obstructions that may restrict other drivers’ view, causing a devastating rear-end collision. Well, unplanned events happen, and emergencies are a fact of life…could it happen to you? Well if you can identify with this dangerous situation, you should avoid an incident by having protection, and “have your death or injuries to-go.”
We hope it never happens to us…a disabled or stranded vehicle on dangerous roadsides is scary! We have all seen it before…a vehicle stopped or disabled on the roadside and what do we do? We “drive on by” at speeds of 60 to 70 miles an hour…what most are thinking at the time, “I’m glad it’s not me, while others may simply pray and hope that no one gets hurt,“ right? We have all heard of the “Good Samaritan” stopping to assist a broke-down motorist, where one or both is struck and killed by on-coming traffic—what a tragedy.
“This scary situation happens more than you realize and in most instances, turns into a nightmare for many motorists without early warning protection,” says Tony Jackson, loss prevention and safety expert in the incident management industry. Jackson went on to say, “Safety devices in non-commercial vehicles is not a requirement in the US, and this presents a dangerous environment for motorist without safety protection.”
Here is the problem; we think it will never happen to us…accidents can happen to anyone, anywhere, anytime, with devastating and life altering consequences! Two questions, do you have safety protection in your vehicle, and if not, why not? “Advanced Safety Technologies offer the best chance for avoiding an incident when compared with traditional warning triangles or flares, and has superior higher visibility safety functions to improve chances of survival,” says Jackson.
Nearly 42,000 people are killed and over 3.0 million people are injured by roadside and general vehicle accidents every year. A staggering 62% of accidents occur at night, with the remainder occurring at dawn, dusk, and during rush hour. Jackson says, here are some of the benefits for including safety devices in your vehicle:
• Provides a highly visible advanced “Alert” for oncoming traffic
• Change flat tires confidently & safely (being seen is critical to your survival)
• Safely inspect car trouble outside your vehicle (always have a flashlight and wear safety vest)
• The best safety devices take less than 3 seconds to setup & begin operation (every second counts)
• Safely wait for emergency assistance w/confidence & security
• These safety devices present the best chance of protection from rear-end and post accident collisions
Our highways have become more dangerous with an increase in speed limits. Move-Over Laws exists in forty-three states. However, the Move-Over Law covers law enforcement and emergency response agencies only. Hum—wonderful why they feel they need added protection with all those flashing lights?
Jackson says the bottom-line is, “if you do not protect yourself and love ones with early warning safety devices, who will? 10 Tons barreling down the highway and hitting your disabled vehicle could in fact, be avoided with simple yet, effective and affordable vehicle safety solutions.”
Safety protection is available now, easy to use, and capable of being deployed immediately. “These new devices are akin to having a spare tire as a requirement—no vehicle should be without one,” says Jackson. Safety devices will ensure that we have our death or injuries to-go by avoiding a deadly accident, how about you? Simply getting protection could save you a great deal of grief, and most importantly, could save your life!
