Slow Drivers in the Left (Fast) Lane

There is nothing more annoying as you are on the freeway than someone driving slow in the far left lane. Now, most of us in California refer to the far left lane as the “fast lane.” Which, makes perfect sense to me. However, the far left lane is usually reserved for passing. and working for an accident attorney, I have learned that blocking the left lane is actually illegal. Furthermore, those who block the left lanes by driving too slow can cause accidents. If you are suffering from injuries due to the negligence of another driver, please do not hesitate to contact a car accident attorney in our office.

Dangers of Running a Red Light

This morning, as I was getting off the freeway on Oso Parkway, and my light turned green, I noticed five cars continue to come from the other direction. Clearly ignoring their red light. Luckily, the people ahead of me were paying attention to oncoming traffic. They didn’t start moving until we no one else was coming towards us. That is when I thought it would be an interesting idea to do a post on the dangers of running red lights. Working for a car accident lawyer, I pay so much more attention to the cars around me than I did before. Because I have seen the damage that is caused.

Why You Shouldn’t Ignore Vehicle Recalls

It’s exciting to get a new car isn’t it? I know because I just purchased a new car myself just a few months ago. However, even new cars can have problems and certain parts may be recalled. Working for an accident attorney here in Orange County, I am so much more aware of certain things on the road these days. and I read earlier today that in 2017, nearly 63 million vehicles with recalls on them were still in use across the country. What is even more interesting is the fact that some people simply ignore these recalls. Working for a car accident lawyer, I can tell you that it is better to be safe than sorry.
