TEEN DRIVING | Statistics | TEEN CAR CRASHES | Personal Injuries

NATIONAL – Recent studies have shown that teens that own their own cars are more likely to get into accidents than teens who share the family car. 

Twenty-five percent of teens who have their own cars have been involved in crashes compared to eleven percent who shared the car. Teens who had parents, who set clear rules, were half as likely to have accidents as teens with uninvolved parents.

Accountability is the key ingredient.

Toyota Recall Fixes Might Not End Sudden Acceleration Problems

NATIONAL - A Toyota executive told a congressional panel yesterday that fixing floor mats and sticking pedals on millions of recalled vehicles would “not totally” fix problems with dangerous unintended acceleration.

He said that the automaker still hasn’t ruled out electronics as a potential cause of sudden acceleration.

Since September 2009, Toyota has recalled millions of vehicles worldwide for issues involving unintended acceleration. Currently, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has now received more than 2,000 complaints of sudden, unintended acceleration with Toyota and Lexus vehicles involving over 30 deaths and causing hundreds of accidents.

OSHA and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is looking into Walt Disney World monorail crash ♦ Epcot line

LAKE BUENA VISTA ♦ A Disney employee was killed when the monorail trains collided just outside the Transportation and Ticket Center, located at the parking lot of the Magic Kingdom. A park official reported that the crash happened during a track switch attempt, while they were trying to remove one of the trains off the Epcot line.

For the first time ever, the National Transportation Safety Board is investigating Sunday's monorail crash at Walt Disney World that killed a cast member piloting one of the trains. The NSTB decided to launch a full investigation into the crash after reviewing preliminary crash information from Disney. The board said it has jurisdiction on Walt Disney World property because the monorail is a transport system used by the public. In addition, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) will conduct an investigation to determine if any workplace safety rules were violated.

Theme parks are not subject to state regulation. Walt Disney World and other Orlando theme parks have their own safety guidelines.
UPDATE JULY 9, 2009 - The NTSB reported that no malfunctions have been found with the automatic train stop system, nor with any mechanical parts of the switch. No mechanical problems were found with the two trains that collided Sunday. The NTSB says a pink train was changing tracks when it backed up into a purple train. "It appears that the operator of the purple train tried to reverse to avoid the collision," said an NSTB official.
UPDATEJuly 10, 2009 - Cast Members On Paid Leave After Monorail Crash - Three Disney cast members have been put on paid leave as part of the investigative process. The three positions they hold are: monorail transportation manager, monorail shop worker, and monorail pilot. Investigators still haven't found any problems with the monorails or tracks, and think human error may be to blame.

HERNANDO SHERIFF Ι Click IT or Ticket Ι SPRING HILL Ι WEEKI WACHEE Ι BROOKSVILLE Ι

In a recent article published by BAYNEWS-9, from May 18 to May 31, the Hernando County Sheriff's Office will join with law enforcement officers nationwide to take part in the annual Click It or Ticket seat belt enforcement mobilization.

"The goal of the Click It or Ticket mobilization is not to write more tickets, but to get everyone buckled up - especially teen drivers and their passengers - and to save lives," the sheriff's office said in a press release. Teens are among those drivers and passengers least likely to buckle up, and motor vehicle crashes are the number one killer of teens.

The sheriff's office said wearing seat belts:
  • Reduces the risk of fatal injury to front-seat passenger car occupants by 45% and by 60% in pickup trucks, SUV's and minivans.
  • Increases the odds of survival in a rollover crash in a light truck by nearly 80%
  • Saves lives 15,147 in 2007 alone, and during the five-year period from 2003 through 2007, seat belts saved a total of 76,936 lives.

Safety check points will be conducted by law enforcement officers at the following locations: Elgin Boulevard, Pinehurst Drive, Sealawn Drive, Coronado Drive, Landover Boulevard, Linden Drive, Cobblestone Drive, Shoal Line Boulevard, California Street, Star Road, Springlake Highway, Ridge Manor Boulevard, Centralia Road, and Powell Road.
