Default Bad Auto Accident

Yesterday I had to take a detour because of a bad traffic accident on Rt 44,
Just read on the online newspaper that the truck driver involved got ticketed; however, another factor that should not be overlooked and is really important to members of our community.

As we age, we should all be aware that our night vision & reaction times are not they used to be. The driver of the car was a Wildwood resident aged 84 & the accident happened @ 5:40 am.

I avoid driving during darkness, unless its a necessity. If you can make sure your next car is equipped with adaptive cruise control and super headlights.

Vision is the key to safety.
