Safety on our streets
(1 Reply )
Good day all,
As many of you know we live in a society of quiet cars , and also many hearing impaired persons are driving.
There have been significant numbers of accidents with Emergency Vehicles (ie; police, ambulance, fire ) across the nation, and they are increasing, as our cars become more and more insulated from the outside noise.
We need these vehicles to be able to do their jobs for OUR own safety, BUT, at the same time we do NOT want to have additional injuries or fatalities because someone didn't HEAR the sirens or SEE the lights. this is counter productive
(hurting someone while trying to get to aid someone)
not to mention losing many of the very people we need (emergency workers) who are there to keep us safe in the event we need them.
I am working on a project to better facilitate the way in which we (private citizens) are alerted to oncoming Emergency Vehicles. I need to gather some statistics, and I am asking for your help.
Please can you let me know if any of the folowing has happened to you or someone you know at any time in the last 10 years.
the information I need is the following;
1) were you or someone you know involved in an accident with an Emergency Vehicle?
2) was anyone cited for failure to yeild to and Emergency Vehicle?
3)were there any injuries or fatalities related to this accident?
4) was the reason you were in the accident, or cited, because you did not know that an Emergency Vehicle was approaching you? or from what direction it was coming?
feel free to email me@(livingalifewithpurpose@gmail.com) With any of this information.
(and please be asssured it is with the strictest of confidence) you do NOT need to include your personal information if you choose not to I just need to get and idea of the numbers.
I thank you so much for being part of the solution, to make our street a much safer place.

'May today there be peace within. May you trust that you are exactly where you are meant to be. May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith in yourself and others. May you use the gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you. May you be content with yourself just the way you are. Let this knowledge settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love. It is there for each and every one of us.'
