Accidents Claim One Goan Every 27 Hours 4,000 People Suffered A Mishap In 2
2008-06-04 10:08:00
Accidents Claim One Goan Every 27 Hours 4,000 People Suffered A Mishap In 2007 Drunk Driving Is The Biggest MenacePreetu Nair | TNN Every day last year, 11 people met with an accident on Goa’s roads. And one out of these 11 people returned home in a coffin. The figures, say traffic and transport experts, are chilling for a state that has only 6 lakh vehicles. Speed — often laced with alcohol — rules Goa’s roads and Goans pay with blood for this killing cocktail. More than 4,000 people were involved in an accident in 2007, police statistics for the year reveal. An overwhelming majority — about two-thirds — of these 4,000 people were men in the 20-45 age group. And exactly 322 of these 4,000 people died after the accident, implying that — on an average — one Goan family lost a member every 27 hours. But 322 deaths is only a part of the tragedy. Many of those who survive an accident can never go back to a normal life. “There are numerous complaints of acciden...
Boating Accidents Due To Operating Under the Influence
2008-06-03 01:33:00
You hear about fatal boating accidents in the news every now and then. Do you know that in Arizona alone, 50% of all fatal boating accidents that happened there in 2007 were alcohol related? That and 1/3 of all fatal boating accidents nationwide are all alcohol related?Operating a boat while impaired is just as dangerous ? and just as illegal ? as drinking while driving a car. So here are a few facts that you should know when operating a boat. The legal limit for blood alcohol is .08 in both driving a car and operating a boat. The penalties are similar too. Just like driving under the influence, Boating Operating Under the Influence is a Class One misdemeanor. So it is important that before operating a boat, a sober operator should be designated.In Arizona however, Boating Education Online is not required to operate a boat. But educated boaters are 70 percent less likely to be involved in a boating accident. That' why if you are into Arizona Boating, you should consider taking clas...
Chess car maximizes safety in accidents
2008-06-02 05:51:00
This concept by Dutch designers looks like a Star Trek shuttlecraft on wheels. The basic idea is that the cabin on top of the platform can move around during a crash, which would hopefully keep the passengers inside safely out of any areas that would crumple and get hit during the impact. The passengers could ...
Amtrak in two accidents
2008-05-28 18:56:00
JACKSON, Miss. -AP- An Amtrak passenger train collided with a garbage truck Tuesday on a rural stretch of central Mississippi track, injuring at least seven people, authorities said.Three of those taken to hospitals were Amtrak employees who suffered non-life-threatening injuries, Amtrak spokesman Marc Magliari said. He did not know the status of the others hurt, or whether they were train passengers, truck passengers or both.   A fire broke out after the collision, authorities said, damaging the engine. The train’s final car, which was empty, left the track. Oh, I can’t wait for the final report on this one.  CN owns the track through there, and I’m willing to bet that there’s nothing more than a set of crossbucks marking the crossing. Everyone involved with this one got very lucky, indeed. -0- Meanwhile we have a pedestrian getting hit by an express train at the Attleboro commuter rail station. Not many details are availble on this one, but the guy lived ...

24 hours to report all Singapore accidents to insurers
2008-05-28 01:02:00
24 hours to report all Singapore accidents to insurers From Sunday, motorists who don’t inform insurers in time will forfeit part of their no-claims discount or even insurance cover By Christopher Tan, Senior Correspondent REPORT EVEN MINOR ONES: Under the new rule, motorists must report all road accidents, even when there is no visible damage. — PHOTO: JOSEPH NAIR FOR THE STRAITS TIMES FROM Sunday, motorists must report all accidents - no matter how minor - to their respective insurers within 24hours or part of their no-claims discount (NCD) will be docked. Worse, their insurers might not cover them if a claim is filed against them. This tough stance is the latest attempt by the insurance industry to curb runaway claims, which drove motor underwriting losses to a five-year high of $103.2 million last year. The picture continues to look bleak this year: In the first quarter, motor-underwriting losses hit $35.3 million - nearly treble that for the same period last ...

ACCIDENTS, AIM & HOUSE FIRES
2008-04-11 14:48:00
Cooper took a nose-dive on the trampoline last night into the metal side railing. He looks a little rough with his nose and right eye all swollen up and very sore. We've raised all 4 boys on the old trampoline without even one injury to this point. I think our odds have been good. It did take me quite a bit of begging before he let me take his picture. This was his happiest face. I should have taken it last night right after it happened. Wow! (Don't tell him I put it on my blog.)There are some pretty awesome things going on at the Childress church. We've got the Australian AIM team coming to work with us for the next four months. They've had to come back to the States a little early from their Australian mission field. They wanted to finish out their mission term, so they'll be working, ministering and helping with the church here in Childress for a few months. It's going to be a win/win situation for everyone involved. They'll bless us, and at the same time, it'll be a bles...

Auto Insurance - What to Do when you Get Tickets or Accidents
2008-04-09 00:00:00
Tickets or accidents can certainly have an impact on your auto insurance rates. When you get them, there are a few steps and actions you should take in order to properly manage your rates and your insurance protection. It is often that even with good intentions, we mistakenly violate the rules and regulations of the road. We may have not noticed out speed and exceeded the speed limit which led to a speeding ticket. Even worse, we even may have missed a stop sign and accidentally collided with another vehicle. This is an area that we must give special attention because tickets and accidents not only affect your financial being, but can also affect your auto insurance policy through rates and even the possibility of cancellation. If you know what factors affect your car insurance rates, then you're aware that tickets end up on your driving history which is used by auto insurance companies for rating purposes. Since statistics show that a driver history of violations have an indicatio...

Pai Town--Accidents and Hippies
2008-03-30 16:15:00
To say the least, my first day to Pai (AllAboutPai.com, PaiThailand.info, PaiTown.com) was an adventure. My friend--Pat--and I had booked a mini bus trip to Pai a couple days before we had planned to leave. On Saturday morning, we left from the Old City in Chiang Mai and a three hour ride put us in Pai by 4 p.m. We decided to rent motorbikes during our stay so we could get around quickly (rental shops were easy to find and had affordable rates). After finding our mode of transportation we decided to find a comfortable place to stay for the night; and a row of bungalows along the Pai River suited us fine. Finally, it was time to get out and see some of the surrounding area. Pai is located in a valley, and green-covered mountains rise around it. For our first stop, we decided to head to a waterfall. Unfortunately, the water is rather low during this time of year, and Mo Paeng Waterfall was far from spectacular. Nonetheless, it was a beautiful day out and we were able to enjoy the weat...
Traffic Safety: No Act of Fate - Accidents take lives of hundreds - many in
2008-03-29 11:20:00
Crop Over is soon here, and I was looking at PAHO's newsletter about vehicular mishaps and although it referred to the Caribbean, the closest they got was by Costa Rica, the story primarily dealt with South American territories and the horrors they cause long after the wreckage is hauled away!Yet I could not help but recall the bus and van tragedies that surrounded Kadooment and Emancipation last year, I am sure there were other terrible accidents in the rest of the region, but naturally the Bajan events are the ones we're very familiar with, so for a few moments I am going to look at both last year and see how it melds with what PAHO is worried about -In October 2006, a group of high school students from Buenos Aires were returning from a field trip to a rural school, where they had met and shared experiences with students from very different, less privileged backgrounds. On a highway in the province of Santa Fé, a truck collided head-on with their van. Nine of the students,...

Are you ready for any of the little accidents life has in store for you? If you don't have money in savings, you should think about where you would get the money to take care of those minor emergencies. That last time I used my credit card, I kicked myself. You see, I'm trying out this whole negative reinforcement thing. Anyway, the point is that we should try not to spend so much and start saving more. Maybe what's in order is a financial planning education course. Read more about finance and credit cards.

Car Insurance and Accidents - What to do when the worst occurs
2008-03-14 03:52:00
Being involved in a car accident can be a harrowing experience, and afterwards there can be a lot of paperwork to complete. You may be tempted to not declare the accident to your insurance company. Don't succumb to temptation, tell your insurance company whether the accident was your fault or not. They will provide you with comprehensive car insurance and everything will work out to your own benefit. The following points are to help you after an accident: * Make sure that everyone involved is unharmed and not in any danger. * Record all the details of any other drivers involved. Get their name, addresses, licence numbers and the other driver's insurers. If you have the opportunity, get the licence plate number of each vehicle involved as well. * If there are witnesses at the scene of the accident, get their names and addresses as well. This information could prove vital when establishing which driver was at fault in the event of a claim. * Make sure you notify the police as soon a...
News: Dubai the Biggest. Also in Road Accidents.
2008-03-13 23:02:00
Three people were killed and 277 injured in the United Arab Emirates yesterday when a total of 227 cars and 12 buses collided. The police blamed reckless driving and a thick fog to cause what is now said to be the world's largest traffic pile-up. The accident happened during peak rush hour on the main Dubai-Abu Dhabi road. (full)Recent figures released by the Ministry of Interior show that there were 6,813 accidents on UAE roads in 2007, resulting in 10,526 injuries (about one per hour) and 1,050 deaths (almost three a day). The 2007 casualties went up by 18% compared to 2006. (full)The UAE is said to have the world's highest fatal accident rate. I lived in Dubai for five years. Two of my friends died in car accidents during that period. Due to reckless driving of someone else.

Another Look at Motorcycle Accidents
2008-03-13 16:56:00
Is it so hard for drivers to remain vigilant on the roads? It seems that traffic regulations, traffic safety programs, and all kinds of safety warning signs on the road will never be enough to keep the roads of California accident-free. Even safety devices, like the seat belts or helmets, are taken for granted by drivers. No wonder fatality rates among these motorists are still on the rise, despite all attempts of the government to reduce vehicle accidents. Amid these vehicle accidents, one of the most severe casualties are from motorcycle accidents.

How to find Cheap Auto Insurance Rates even with Tickets or Accidents
2008-03-09 00:00:00
Those drivers with multiple tickets or even multiple accidents don?t have to stress out. There is a way to obtain cheap auto insurance rates although you may have been close to giving up the fight for low premiums. You may be among those who can?t even find coverage at all because you?re either quoted a super high amount or companies tell you that you?re unacceptable under their guidelines. Some drivers may even be dropped by their current auto insurance companies because some insurers have a threshold on driving record points, and when exceeded, their coverage is cancelled. Tickets or accidents do definitely cause higher rates; however there is a strategy to still finding the cheapest rates possible for yourself without having to settle for the first company that tells you they can insure you. First of all, it is important to understand the difference from company to company. Some are in the market for only drivers with clean driving records and want nothing to do with those with v...
