100+ Mile Speeding Tickets on the Rise in Los Angeles
With the city on lockdown, there are far fewer cars, trucks, and motorcycles crowding up the Los Angeles roads which have caused an alarming trend—an increase in 100+ mile speeding tickets. Nowhere in California can you legally drive that fast but the allure of riding fast on the rarely open roads with the beautiful weather has resulted in putting too much pressure on the gas pedal and police have taken notice!
The New York Post reports that the number of these high-speed tickets has increased by a whopping 87% since the March 19 stay at home orders went into effect—including a ticket issued for a reckless driver going 165 miles per hour on the 5 freeway in San Juan Capistrano area. The Post quotes CHP Commissioner Warren Stanley on the California speeding trend, “It is alarming to see the number of citations officers are writing for higher speeds. Higher speeds can lead to much more serious injuries and significantly increase the chance of death should an accident occur.”
High-Speed Car Accidents
If you get hit on foot, on a bike, or in a car by another vehicle traveling fast the chances that you have been seriously injured are extremely high. Here are some tips on what to do to maximize your physical and financial recovery:
- Seek Medical Attention: If you are trying not to see all necessary doctors to avoid going to a hospital and elsewhere during this time, while the concern is understandable this is putting your health at risk. Telehealth is a major thing right now and may be an option depending on your injuries, but you need to seek help. Not only will this help you on the road to feeling better, but it will also provide the necessary documentation for your personal injury case as well.
- Document: If you can, get witnesses’ information (you can even do this from 6 feet away) and write down anything and everything you remember from the crash. Your memories of what happened combined with any eyewitnesses help to provide valuable evidence to strengthen your case.
