I’ve written about my own personal experience with the dangers of drowsy driving before. It is a dangerous epidemic that cannot be ignored. After analyzing dashboard videos from 700 accidents, the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety found that 9.5% of all crashes involved drowsy driving, based on the portion of time the operators' eyes were closed in the minutes before a crash. This statistic grows to nearly 11% in severe crashes.

My parents bought a new (to them) car last November. My mom was very pumped about the included backup and side camera.

"It has grid lines when you back up! The cameras change when I use my turn signal!" She happily exclaimed after she brought it home. When I came back to Kansas for Christmas, she proudly showed me how everything worked.

Many new vehicles now come standard with backup and/or side cameras. It makes sense. Laws are changing, and the new generation are learning to drive with cameras. The question remains, how can I make my parents even safer? After hearing all about my mom's backup...

Thanks to Vision Zero, New York pedestrian deaths are the lowest since 1910. This is the first year the city began recording these deaths.

101 pedestrians were killed by vehicles in 2017, while 184 pedestrians were killed in 2013 when the initiative was first proposed by then candidate Mayor De Blasio.

Steps taken for Vision Zero include reducing speed limits, changing street corners, and adjusting cross signals.

“The lower speed limit, increased enforcement and safer street designs are all building on each other to keep New Yorkers safe,” Mr. de Blasio said in a statement. “Now we must deepen...

According to recent data from the U.S Bureau of Labor Statistics, 5,190 fatal work injuries occurred in 2016. This is a 7% increase from 2015. This is the third year in a row this number has increased.

At 40% (2,083) of the fatalities, transportation accidents remained the most common cause of work deaths. Violence committed by people or animals and On-the-job overdoses from non-medical use of drugs or alcohol are also high on the list.

In response to this data, The National Safety Council is urging employers to take a systematic approach to this problem.
