THE BATTALION
Oh my, what a wieck
Car accidents cause grief, are preventable^
M
By Rachel Landry
The Battalion
Car accidents cause problems after the
tires stop rolling and the wreckage has been
cleared off the road. However, many acci
dents could be avoided if people would dri
ve more cautiously.
Amanda Peevy, a sophomore biomed
ical science major, was driving with her
roommate to the medical school library
last semester when some-
is distraction.
Matthews cited cell phones, drop
ping lit cigarettes, eating and drink
ing, putting on makeup and shav-
one ran a red light and hit her Ford Explorer.
“We were on Olsen, turning lelt onto Umver si-
ty Drive,” Peevy said. “I had a protected left, and
1 hesitated before 1 went. Before I knew it, he hit
The car hit the left front corner of Peevy’s car,
causing $2,500 worth of damage.
Peevy said she was lucky that she and hci i oom-
mate were not hurt in the accident, but she had to
deal with problems because of the accident.
Peevy, who is from Crockett, said she had to
make the drive back to College Station two times
before her car was properly fixed.
"She said she does not worry too much about
getting into another accident.
“I kind of keep thinking ‘I hope nobody hits
me’ when I make a left turn, but I did not get hurt,
so it has not affected me (psychologically),”
Peevy said.
In 2000, there were 1,925 automobile accidents
in Bryan, and eight were fatal.
Bryan Police Department (BPD) Sgt. Ben
Smith said some of the main causes of accidents
are speeding and inattentive driving.
Speed was a factor in 28 percent of the wrecks
and driving while intoxicated was a factor in 6 per
cent of the wrecks in Bryan last year.
College Station Police Department (CSPD)
Lt. Mike Matthews said there are many con
tributing factors for wrecks, but said the main one
Otts said there are
many ways to prevent
being in a wreck.
He said drivers
should yield the right of
way to an aggressive
driver because 90 per
cent of fatal accidents
caused by road
rage.
Otts said the best way
to prevent being a victim
of road rage is not to feed
the aggressor’s tension. He
said this includes refraining
from cutting someone off, stomping on the breaks
when an aggressive driver is tailgating and using
obscene gestures.
Otts said nobody should drive after drinking,
because it is hard for someone to tell if he has had
too much to drink. .
“It is virtually impossible to determine for your
self whether you are capable of driving,” he said.
Otts said the best thing to do after a car accident
is to stay calm. Otts said one should always be pre
pared to handle a car accident.
He said a driver who realizes he is about to be
in a head-on collision should swerve to the right,
not the left.
He said that when the other driver realizes that

he is about to hit someone, he will alsoswei'l
the right, which could prevent the accident.
Otts said if people witness an accident,I
must stop to give help if they are medicalofi®
He said to help keep people with head and bat
juries immobilized. He said to spend as little j
in the car as possible, and try to safely gettk!
tim away from the car.
If the accident does not look serious, theif
should exchange information and call the pel 1
report the accident.
Otts said it is important to drive careful^
