Trade in Your Car for Something Really Eco Friendly

March 20th, 2010 No comments

By Car Accident Lawyer Boston area Lawyer John O’Connell Massachusetts has joined the ranks of those states that allow the 2+2 Villager, essentially a golf cart. As of December 2008, the vehicles are allowed to travel on roads with posted speed limits no higher than 30 miles per hour. The vehicles drive at speeds ranging from 20-25 miles per hour, which is no race car, but perfect for neighborhood roads. The 2+2 Villager by Club Car Inc. of Augusta, Ga, can travel about 20 miles before having to be recharged. These types of vehicle have been making their way across the US and are becoming increasingly popular. They are very eco-friendly and even though they don’t have doors, Massachusetts residents, Judith Van Hamm and Michael Connelly, are very happy with their purchase. The vehicle is selling rapidly. They seem to have found their niche with use in gated communities and campus like living environments, where many residents do not need a full sized vehicle for their weekly trips to the super market. The price tag also attracted Massachusetts residents with a low price tag of about $10,000. The state even offered a 2009 tax break of nearly 50%.

This is because there is little protection for the cyclist against the steal and metal of a vehicle.

After Causing Auto Accident at Race – Carl Edwards Get Slap on The Wrist

March 14th, 2010 No comments

Brought to by the Atlanta auto accident lawyer Scott Delius NASCAR gave Carl Edwards nothing more than a slap on the wrist as punishment for intentionally wrecking Brad Keselowski in last weekend’s Sprint Cup race at Atlanta Motor Speedway. During a Tuesday afternoon conference call, NASCAR president Mike Helton said the sanctioning body has placed Edwards on probation for upcoming races at Bristol, Martinsville and Phoenix, but the driver was not fined, suspended or docked points. Helton explained NASCAR’s thinking in the matter. “We’ve talked with [Keselowski's team owner] Roger Penske and [Edward's boss] Jack Roush, and we’ll meet with the drivers to clean the slate before they race again. Instead of a minor single-car spin, though, the contact turned Keselowski’s car around. Keselowski was dazed but uninjured. Afterward, to the media on hand and later on his Web site, Edwards accepted responsibility for the wreck. He spoke of several other on-track incidents with Keselowski in the Cup and Nationwide Series, including one early in the Atlanta race. B-Confront him after the race? On Sunday, after the race, Keselowski put NASCAR squarely on the spot. It’s not cool [for Edwards] to come back [into the race after being so many laps behind] and intentionally wreck someone at 195 mph. Keselowski defended his actions in the first incident at Atlanta, which sent Edwards into the garage for extensive right-front repairs.

Seat Belts Still Not Enforced in Colorado

March 14th, 2010 No comments

From Denver car accident attorneys at the William Muhr Law Firm. Despite the recent passage of anti-texting laws, the Colorado legislature is not looking to become overly protective of drivers. Case in point, even though wearing a seatbelt in the car is a law, the State has yet to pass legislation that would allow officers to pull a driver over for not wearing their seatbelt. Cops are only allowed to issue citations when a driver is pulled over for another violation. Police say it’s not their job to protect people from themselves, but rather to ensure the safety of the roads from dangerous drivers. According to the NTSB, “states that have enacted primary seat belt enforcement have about a 10-15 percent higher use rate” than those states that don’t. Other studies point to the idea that safety belt use has increased because of growing public awareness to the dangerous of not wearing a seatbelt. A safety belt law has been hard to convince. Many lawmakers feel it is not their place to protect drivers from their own dumb decisions. They would rather concentrate on enacting laws that prevent dangerous driving practices. With the seemingly failure of the anti texting law, it may be sometime before lawmakers attempt to enact another such law. For now, Colorado does not seem to suffer from an increased rate of auto accidents from a lack of seat belt use. In 2009, the mortality rate for auto accidents decreased below 500, which is the lowest in almost 30 years, despite the boom in Colorado’s population.
