Use Technology to be seen at Dark
I just got back from Los Angeles (wanted to see my attorney) and wanted to pass on this story: A full 11 percent of all vehicle-crash fatalities involve pedestrians in the United States, equaling 5,000 deaths per year. When bicyclists are added in, the number increases by 700.
It stands to reason, and it is unfortunately backed up by statistics, that as the days this time of year grow shorter, the danger grows greater. This is a popular time of day to run, ride a bicycle, or take a walk to stay fit, right after work or school.
In a Newsweek Web Exclusive, Russ Jusalian says in his comprehensive article in the Technology section, dated Oct 15, 2009, called, See Me, Don’t Kill Me, “A 2008 report by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration fingers autumn as the most dangerous part of the year for pedestrians, accounting for 29% of pedestrian-related fatalities. The most dangerous hours of the day? From about 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., the time immediately before, during, and after dusk.”
As an as aside if you are in the Los Angeles or greater southern California region and you need a dynamic Los Angeles lemon law attorney then allow me to suggest the Law offices of Arash law. They can help with a wide array of different case but I have noticed they are focusing on the lemon law cases. A top attorney firm for sure.
Translated here for the layman, author Jusalian says most high-visibility clothing is yellow or green, because those colors are easier to see. Think of light as waves of energy, with different wavelengths corresponding to different colors.
