Ban on texting while driving hard to enforce

Posted on November 14th, 2011 No Comments

Issued citations for violators of the texting while driving ban reached 162 in the state of Wisconsin for this past year. This low number is a direct result of the difficulty that comes with the ban.

Police are reporting that it is hard to determine if a driver is texting or merely dialing a phone number on their cell phone. The goal of this ban is to help prevent accidents across the state not necessarily issue citations.

In the event that an individual is issued a citation for this ban, they will receive a fine that could fall between $20 and $400. Activities inside motor vehicles have become increasingly common thus blurring the line of illegal and legal activities even further.

If you have been injured in a car accident due to a reckless driver, please contact the Sheboygan reckless driving lawyers of Habush Habush & Rottier, S.C. by calling 800-242-2874 today.

Two die in wrong-way accident

Posted on November 7th, 2011 No Comments

Two people are dead after a wrong-way collision occurred on I-94 this weekend.

The car accident happened Saturday night in Pewaukee, Wisconsin. A 44-year-old Wisconsin woman was driving the wrong-way on the highway when she struck a car being driven by a 41-year-old father of three. Both drivers died at the scene.

There were numerous reports to the police regarding the wrong-way driver, but the squad cars that were sent to stop the woman were not able to do so before the accident. Police are saying that the accident could have been much worse because a police car was feet away from being involved in the accident as well.

An investigation into this accident is ongoing.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims’ family and friends at this difficult time.

Drivers should proceed with caution this Halloween

Posted on October 31st, 2011 No Comments

Local neighborhoods are going to be filled with excitement tonight when trick-or-treaters start roaming the streets in search of sweet treats.

This influx of activity means that there are more chances for pedestrian accidents to happen. During night time hours, accidents occur more often. It is recommended that motorists avoid taking shortcuts through residential neighborhoods during prime trick-or-treating hours. According to AAA, pedestrians are twice as likely to be killed if they are hit by a car going 35 miles per hour instead of 25 miles per hour. Drivers need to drive slow and be attentive to their surroundings.

Trick-or-treaters can take precautions too so as to avoid an accident. Children should have a mapped out plan of the route they are going to take as well as make sure it is sufficiently lit. Looking both ways before crossing a street takes no time at all and could prevent a serious accident.

Pedestrians can be seriously injured in pedestrian accidents. If you have been the victim of a pedestrian accident, please contact the Sheboygan pedestrian accident lawyers of Habush Habush & Rottier, S.C. by calling 800-242-2874 today.

AAA study shows new teen drivers should have supervision

Posted on October 24th, 2011 No Comments

According to a study conducted by AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety, teen drivers who are new behind the wheel should have continued guidance from parents.

The first month teen drivers are on the road sans learner’s permit is the most dangerous month. Teens are twice as likely to crash in this month on the road than they are in a full year of driving. Reckless driving is found to be the main cause of these crashes. The research cites failure to slow down, not paying attention and failure to stop as the main reasons for the reckless driving.

It is important for parents to stay involved with their teenagers once they initially obtain their driver’s licenses. Teenagers who drive with other teenagers in the car are far more likely to be in a car accident than teenagers who drive alone.

If you have been involved in a car accident due to reckless driving, please contact the Sheboygan reckless driving lawyers of Habush Habush & Rottier, S.C. by calling 800-242-2874 today.

Four young Amish children on their way to school were struck by an oncoming car while traveling in a horse-drawn buggy. The school the children attend was less than half a mile from the site of the accident.

Two of the four children were taken to the University of Wisconsin Hospital in Madison by way of Medflight after being ejected from the buggy at the time of the crash. The other two children were treated for their injuries at a local hospital and all four children are said to be in stable condition.

The driver of the motor vehicle was departing from a local convenient store when it crashed into the buggy. The particular road where this took place is known for limited vision by reason of large hills.
