As reported by the news earlier, an initiative from the students attending the Lincoln-Way North High School will keep senior citizens safer when driving their vehicles.
The students along with the school’s automotive program started a free winter car check-up event for senior citizens. The various area police departments are also involved in this program.
According to the news, the students check everything that might represent an accident hazard to senior citizens in the face of mechanical failure. Check-up includes batteries, car tires, hoses, belts, steering, fluids and suspension.
An Officer says he’s proud of the students who are taking the time to assist senior citizens while improving and mastering their craft. This is the third year that students, the school and the police department team up to keep the safety of their local roads.
As a Los Angeles car accident attorney, I’m always happy to hear that dedicated professionals offer their services to keep others safe while driving.
Personal injury lawyers know many accidents are the result of cars that haven’t been under professional maintenance and that lack the supervision to be safe for drivers. This initiative is a great tool for the prevention of accidents caused by malfunctioning of the vehicles involved.
According to the news, students from the University of Georgia are being granted free safety checks before they get on with their holiday season. Even if all they need to have checked is their bicycle.
Mechanics from the UGA Campus Transit along with Five Star Automotive will be present at the University’s Tate Student Center where ‘Operation SafeDrive’ will be taken place. The annual event will be happening from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. and it’s sponsored by the UGA Parking Services. During those hours, workers and students alike will have the opportunity to have their vehicle checked so any possible issues may be prevented before they hit the road.
The new thing about this year’s event is that for the first time, bikes are included in the safety inspections and tune-ups. Organizers have stated that an electric-powered Chevrolet Volt will be on display during the whole event so the community can learn a bit about the allegedly environmentally friendly vehicle.
As a Los Angeles car accident lawyer I appreciate initiatives that will educate drivers and riders nationwide. Maintaining your vehicle in a good condition can diminish the chances of a car accident related to technical malfunction. For any other car accident that you or a loved one might be involved with, contact a personal injury lawyer as fast as possible.
