Thanks for returning! Do you talk on your cell phone while driving? Okay so I know I do it, do you? 400 Times More likely To Be In An Accident Did you know, that we are four hundred times more likely to get into an accident if we are driving while using our cell phones! [...]

Yesterday I spent the day at the 6th Annual NJ Safety Forum at Rutgers University. I listened to and met many in law enforcement and the safety community. One detective in particular, with whom I was seated during the late morning and through lunch, shared the details of his daily job, which were sobering indeed. He is tasked with going to the scenes of all fatal accidents in Morris County. He spoke of the difficulty of delivering the news to parents and loved ones, and of taking the time to complete an investigation before being able to do so. He also said every time he hears sirens and sees the lights, he thinks it’s his wife and daughter involved in an accident. He was at the Forum to accept an award for improved reporting. Accuracy and timeliness had improved greatly. Families are due those answers, he said, and that is what drives him.
