Accidents, Wrecks and Fender Benders

Safely getting to your destination is the number one priority when it comes to driving. Preventing highway accidents goes hand-in-hand with enjoying your time out on the road… heads-up driving can save an entire vacation! It pays to be aware of your surroundings at all times, as an accident can arise out of nowhere. The images on this page are just a few of the many incidents that I’ve come across in my travels. Although some of these wrecks are serious and others are more light-hearted, there is one common theme running throughout them… you don’t want to be anywhere near any of them while they are occurring. It’s a good reminder to give people lots of  space when you are out on the road. My goal is to create a bubble between me and the other traffic whenever I can, rather than run in a pack, and I would advise the same for you. Safe Travels!!!
