One thing to keep in mind terrieb is that the sounds of sirens and presence of EMS vehicles and the helicopter does not necessarily indicate a serious accident, or even an accident at all. Minor accidents and medical events often involve fire trucks as first responders, followed up by EMS vehicles. The helicopter is also used for medical events that don't have anything to do with an accident. It seems to me that since I’ve lived here, there have been relatively few serious accidents for the size of the population. And I think that the mature population around here is, in general, a safer group of drivers than the young drivers encountered in other cities. Really young drivers are more likely to speed, tailgate and drive aggressively.
