It's still summer so we have to be safe out on the water. AFODS previously posted this in 2018, but it's a good reminder we all have the ability to crash almost anything that has a motor in it.
Plan a safe Labor Day and always be aware of your surroundings!!!

A harrowing boat crash at the mouth of the Columbia River. Details here: www.oregonlive.com/pacific-northwest-news/index.ssf/2018/01/chilling_video_fi...It is very interesting that the number of people passing their drivers license test has increase during this coronavirus time.
It is going to get very interesting when we have "normal" traffic and testing. Will there be an increased number of people getting into crashes?? Time will only tell.

COVID-19 has made Pa. driving tests easier, and business is booming. Safety experts are concerned.

Experts have concerns that the modified driving test, which is limited to a parking lot, doesn't test enough on-road skills.You would think the amount crashes would decrease right now. Initially in May, there was a 25.5% decrease in crashes. In the following months of June and July, there has been a large uptick in the number of crashes, which likely has negated the original decrease.
So what's happening? When the roads are less traveled, drivers will take more risks. This includes, but is not limited to: speeding, reckless driving, etc.
Please don't be a statistic. When there are fewer vehicles out, take MORE precautions than you would normally. If the drivers around you are driving riskier, they could put you at risk. Please see the hashtags for the states with an increase in crashes. Be safe...
