Central Virginia Police Work to Prevent Deadly Car Accidents
Posted on Jan 14, 2012
Looking back at the newly finished year, police in Charlottesville, Virginia and Albemarle County noticed at least one trend that they would like to reverse; last year 13 people were killed during an accident in Charlottesville and 20 within the county. This high number of deaths caused by car accidents is one of the highest on record and police, both city and county, are working together to dramatically reduce these numbers.
Police Target Certain Driving Behaviors
After looking back at the factors that either caused the deadly accidents or contributed to the seriousness of the injuries sustained during the crash, police found that there were some things that the accidents had in common. In order to prevent such a high number of crashes next year, police will be working together to target the following driving behaviors:
-
Speeding
-
Drunk Driving
-
Lack of seat belt use
Police across Central Virginia will be working harder than ever to prevent accidents caused by drunk drivers and speeders. In addition, they will be focusing on public awareness of the importance of seat belt use.
As Norfolk auto accident lawyers, we know that these factors do, indeed, lead to too many accidents, injuries and deaths. We hope that the efforts of the Central Virginia police department will cause a radical reduction in the number of serious and deadly car accidents in Albemarle County and across Virginia.
