Everyone knows that pedestrians in a crosswalk have the right of way, but how many drivers stop? How many times have you seen a pedestrian waiting to cross the street and no one will stop for them?

Crossing a street is entirely safe so long as passing motorists follow the law. But when something goes wrong, the results can be catastrophic.

Here is another type of common pedestrian injuries: did you know that the most dangerous thing you can do after a car crash is get out of your car? It is true – people who stay in their cars are safer and those who get out are often struck by passing vehicles and injured even more. So stay in your car! All that metal protects you and makes you highly visible to oncoming cars.
