This is a Hard Time for the Family and Friends of Sydnee Humphries - so Young and with her Whole Life in Front of her. Our Thoughts and Prayers to Her Family and Friends and the Others involved in this Accident - -
ReplyDeleteAll we know is she crossed over the center line and caused this Head-On Crash that Killed Her - - Hopefully - She was not Texting, Talking on Her Cell Phone, Putting on her Make-Up or being Distracted - - which is so is easy today - with Cell Phones or doing other things in the Car - when you should be Razor Focused on the Road and Your Surroundings.
Hopefully the Highway Patrol - will do a thorough Investigation - Including - Research on Her Cell Phone - to see if she was on it / using it / Etc., - in any form - to see if was a potential cause of the Accident.
Yet so many Teens are Easily Distracted while Driving - -
The National Safety Council States - The number of crashes by driver age varies greatly. Some age groups are over-represented in crashes. Sixteen- to 19-year-olds represent 3.6% of licensed drivers, but account for 9.3% of drivers in all crashes and 6.3% of drivers in fatal crashes.
Teen Driver Behaviors That Put All Road Users at Risk:
Lack of experience.
Distractions.
Driving with friends.
Speeding.
Weekend and night driving.
Drinking and drug use.
Lax seat belt use.
Please - Have a Heart to Heart Talk with Your Teen Drivers - - about Driving and Road Risks - - Don't Let them become another Statistic...
