AMERICA’ S WORST DRIVERS Who Is Responsible for the Most Accidents on the Road?
We can help you get your vehicle repaired when you become our personal injury client. Plus, Harmonson Law Firm does not charge any fee to assist our personal injury clients with their property damage claim. If your vehicle is beyond repair, then the insurance company will declare your vehicle a “total loss.” If the vehicle is declared a total loss, then the insurance company must pay you the fair market value of the vehicle before the accident. Most people choose to let the insurance company keep the vehicle. However, you can choose to keep the totaled vehicle. If you choose this option, the insurance company will pay you the fair market value of the vehicle minus the money that the insurance company could have made if the vehicle was sold for scrap.
Which age group do you think ranks as the worst drivers in America? According to the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety, the answer is motorists from the ages of 19–24. The AAA Foundation’s recent report stated that “88 percent of young millennials engaged in at least one risky behavior behind the wheel in the past 30 days.” Risky behaviors are defined as speeding, running red lights, and texting while driving. The report also noted that traffic-related deaths increased by 7 percent in 2015, which marks the largest increase in more than 50 years — a number that has been steadily increasing overall. The problem, it seems, is rooted in attitude. Dr. David Yang, executive director with the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety, said, “Some of the drivers ages 19–24 believe that their dangerous driving behavior is acceptable.” Another troubling statistic gleaned from the report revealed that “nearly 12 percent of drivers ages 19–24 reported feeling that it is acceptable to drive 10 mph over the speed limit in a school zone.” But before you think millennials take all the blame, drivers ages 40–59 are also guilty of speeding, running red lights, and texting while driving. In fact, over 75 percent of people in this age group have done so in the last month. This group comes in third behind older millennials, who are ages 25–39, who engage in dangerous driving habits at a rate of about 79 percent.

Another AAA report, the 2017 Traffic Safety Culture Index, reported that just over half of all drivers routinely drive 15 mph over the posted speed limit on highways and 10 mph over on residential streets. On top of this, about 25 percent of drivers believe is okay to drive 15 mph over the limit. The takeaway from AAA’s report is that drivers of all ages engage in poor driving habits. The best thing any of us can do is drive defensively, keeping our eyes on the road and looking out for other drivers.

DIRECTIONS
1. In a large stockpot, combine water, garlic, and all herbs and spices to make brine. Cook over high heat until salt and sugar are fully dissolved. Remove from heat and stir in ice. 2. Once water temp reaches 45 F, place brisket in a 2-gallon zip-close bag, pour in brine to cover, lay flat in a large container, and store in fridge. 3. Brine for 10 days, checking daily to make sure brisket is fully submerged and brine is stirred. 4. After 10 days, remove brisket from brine and rinse under cool water. In a large pot, cover brisket, onion, carrot, and celery with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and gently simmer for 2 1/2–3 hours. 5. Remove, slice across the grain, and serve.
