Selfies and driving – a dangerous combination

The Huffington Post recently reported on the death of a Clemmons, North Carolina woman who was involved in an accident. The 32-year old was driving to work one morning on a busy interstate when her car crossed the center of the highway, crashed into an oncoming recycling truck and caught on fire. Fortunately, the truck driver was unharmed. Investigators soon learned that the woman was engaging in a new trend: taking selfies while driving. She took several photos of herself and posted them to a popular social media site while she was on the road. Her last post took place at 8:33 a.m., just one minute before the first calls came in reporting the accident. A Las Vegas car accident lawyer understands that this could happen to each and every individual who chooses to take a selfie while behind the wheel.

When Nevada motorists pass large commercial vehicles on the roads, they may wonder just how much safety training truck drivers receive.

Using a survey of the most recent year’s list of truck drivers and those who obtained their CDL within the past 3 years, the FMCSA will aim to determine the relationship between the amount of training hours and types of entry-level CDL training programs and how the training translates into trucker safety on the roads.

Robotic surgery is not error-proof

Robotically-assisted surgery involves the use of a computer, cameras and instruments wielded by a robot arm that is controlled by a surgeon. According to the manufacturer, this arm gives the doctor more dexterity and ability to maneuver in smaller spaces than is possible with human hands. The company also claims that procedures performed with the assistance of the robot are safer than traditional surgical practices, and are getting safer over time. Evidence reported by the Food and Drug Administration indicates otherwise.
