carguy 1 Posted May 27, 2010 Enclosed is the most recent consolidated report from traffic related fatalities in San Diego County. It appears we are making strides in reducing the motorcycle category numbers in regards to the misuse of drugs and alcohol. However, the other categories still have excessively high numbers. We are making a difference and know that it will take perseverance and dedication. I’m honored to work with you in reducing and one day eliminating these numbers.

Mistress of the dual 1 Posted May 27, 2010 Interesting. What is the time span of the report? I'd also like to know how many of the fatalities were related to cell phones/texting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lemieuxmc@yahoo.com 0 Posted June 1, 2010 Without the accident report for each incident, the statistics don't have much meaning. There was a minimal story in the paper about a fellow who got killed on Hwy 76 about 2 weeks ago, but until I read a first person account by a witness (who happens to be the Pres. of the BMW owners club) I could only speculate on the facts. In my opinion, most accidents fall into 2 categories... drinking (car or bike) and riding over your head (mostly sportbikes, some rookie Harley riders). The only statistic that matters is how well YOU practice safe riding technique, and maintain extreme vigilance towards your situational awareness. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

carguy 1 Posted June 16, 2010 Enclosed is the summarized data for the traffic related fatalities in San Diego County for May 2010. While this data does not tell the whole story, it does show that the use of alcohol and drugs is still prevalent and a factor in these fatalities. The good news is that the last three categories (Motorcycle, Passenger and Bicycle) have made considerable improvements in reducing the alcohol and drug influence. The bad news is that 36% of our drivers killed during this timeframe were under the influence of either alcohol or drugs--or both. Please drive safely! Your work matters and we are making a difference! Classification Ages Notes Driver 19-87 14 Killed (5 involved BAC .04, .21, .16, .15, .07 ) (5 involved Drugs .05, .23, .18, .16, .08, ) 1- Unrestrained Pedestrian 7-59 12 Killed (4 involved BAC .25, .11, .33, .28 ) (3 involved Drugs .28, .38, .29 ) Motorcycle 39-48 3 Killed ( 0 involved BAC ) ( 1 involved Drugs .31 ) 3-Ejected Passenger O7-95 6 Killed (0 involved BAC ) ( 0 involved Drugs ) 1- Unrestrained Bicycle 0 Killed (0 involved BAC ) (0 involved Drugs ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lemieuxmc@yahoo.com 0 Posted June 16, 2010 More sad news in the paper yesterday, they ID'ed another fellow who got killed riding with the S.D. Sportbike meetup group. Once again it appears that someone got in over his head because of a group ride (gotta impress) mentality. The real accident was the couple on the Harley on I-15 who hit a BBQ that fell of a truck, went down, got up with minor injuries and were hit by a CAR while standing in the roadway. That's an accident, but still there are some ways that they may have been able to minimize their risk. The other interesting MC accident news was the 2 CHP motors last week. One hit on the shoulder while issuing a ticket, the other hit a semi while in a pursuit. I would love to read the reports. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
