Not wearing a seatbelt, seriously.

Unfortunately it is usually the result of “distracted driving” e.g. radio,text,phone. The first thing police check when investigating an accident is the cell phone records to see if there was texting or talking taking place. It is a relatively new, 10-15 years, phenomenon.

This must be one of those dangerous roads that we are plagued with on the Central Coast. It couldn’t possibly be the drivers fault. When will engineers start designing roads to accommodate those very special individuals in our community who need to drive faster than everyone else?
