In this article i will tell ou about how you could avoid car accidents. You might think to yourself how could you avoid car accidents if it's an accident, meaning it could just happen out of no where. Well, there are some steps you could take to make sure or lower your chances of getting involved in a car accident.
Here are some tips:
-The Double-Double Stop Sign Check
Some streets form like a T at stop signs and the street it T's into could be narrow with traffic coming both ways. You have to learn to do the Double-Double by looking from left to right, then again left to right making sure no cars are coming before turning. That second look from left to right would make sure there are no cars coming out of the blind spots, which can save you from an accident.
-Clear the Rear
When you put the car in reverse, you should look from left to right and straight behind you to make sure there's no cars or subjects approaching, and if there's a car parked behind you with a driver inside make sure he's not about to pull out before you reverse. Also make sure there's no pedestrains trying to walk across your car while backing up, if so then make sure they don't have small kids with them that may be hard to see from the view of your car.
-Wait A Second When Light Turns Green
When waiting at the red light and the light turns green, wait a second before pulling out in the intersection. Sometimes there are drivers racing to beat the red light, often the light turns red before they enter the intersection resulting in the light changing to green on your side of the intersection. And if you're in a hurry for your light to change green then BAM, there goes your accident.
-Look Both Ways
If you're prepairing to make a right turn, nine times out of ten you are looking at the left and focusing on the traffic coming from the left so you will know when it's ok to make your right turn. When it's ok for you to turn right you should focus on what's going on at the right for a second before making your right turn. Because some drivers think when they're making a right turn and they focusing on the left on coming traffic they think everything is ok on their right side. But that right side that you're not paying attention to can change at any moment. Pedestrains could decide to walk across the street, or even worse a car can decide to make a u-turn right in front of your car, or a driver in parked car can decide to pull out from parking spot. Looking both ways before making your right turn can prevent an accident before it occurs.
-Be Patient
When you're waiting for traffic to pass to turn onto on coming traffic, don't be in a hurry to make the turn before the vehicle completely passes you. Lets say it's a vehicle passing with a low flat bed or trailer attached to the back of it, you're in a hurry to turn out onto the traffic before the vehicle completely passes and you don't see the flat bed or trailer attached to it. Being in a hurry will lead to a car accident.
-Check Blind Spots
It is not only important to look in your rear view mirror and side view mirrors when you're ready to change lanes. You should also ALWAYS look back over your shoulder to make sure there is not a vehicle in your blind spot that the mirrors can't see. New drivers tend to not do this as they think the mirrors shows them everything they need to see and there's no cars in the blind spot. They prepair to change lanes and when the accident happens first thing they say is "i didn't see the vehicle on the side of me."
-Trucks Can't See You
Most of the time when i'm driving and if there's a 18 wheeler truck that decides to pull on the side of me (mostly when i'm on the express way), i'll slow down and let them pass by or i'll change lanes. Trucks sit up very high which makes your lower vehicle hard to see. When they're on the side of you, they might decide to change lanes right into the lane you're in without them seeing or knowing you're on the side of them. When this accident happens, the first they'll say too is "i didn't see you on the side of me."
-Neighborhood Streets Cautions
If you're driving on the residential streets you should drive slow enough that in case anything pops up out the ordinary you can prepair to react. On residential streets there's parked cars, kids playing. When kids are playing, they're not aware of the traffic that's approaching. Therefore you have to be the eyes for you and them. Kids like to chase each other which can lead them to run out into the streets when playing, or they play with balls that sometimes get away from them out into the streets with them chasing after it. Even worse, the parked cars holds a blind spot from you seeing any child that cuts in between parked cars to cross the street. Out of no where you're driving down the street and the child between the parked cars doesn't see your vehicle coming, and you don't see the child as well.
You should always pay attention to any and everything around you when driving to avoid car accidents. You should always drive the speed limit as well to avoid car accidents. If you're driving too fast it can lead to you reacting slower to any changes that occur in traffic that can lead to you having a car accident. Be safe

Unemployment Rate Up
Claims of Unemployement have been on the rise across america. Last week California residents had the most claims filed for unemployment. After upgrading the computer system last month, the state labor agency has been having problems keeping up with the claims. They also had problems processing unemployment checks which caused unemployment benef its to be delayed for people in the state. This error made it harder for people who depended on their unemployment check to pay bills and put some food on the table.
A lot of data and glitches was caused or had something to do with the government shutdown, 15,000 claims came from workers who rely on business from the federal government. This includes government contractors, bus drivers who take passengers on trips to tour parks, also waiters in Washington DC restaurants that was visited a lot by federal employees.
The government shutdown lasted 16 days, during that time nearly 500,000 federal workers was put on stand by. They was allowed to file for unemployment, but it looks like congress will grant them retro back pay for the time they didn't work due to the shutdown. If that's the case then they will have to pay back any unemployment benefits recieved.
This high rise of unemployment claims within the last 3 weeks does not include federal workers who may have filed for unemployment benefits during the government shutdown. Federal workers was counted in a different category by the Labor Department.
In the last 3 weeks the numbers shows about 326,000 people claimed unemployment benefits, but that number could be higher than that due to the states computer glitches and the government shutdown in which people couldn't file a claim. The rise of the unemployment rate shows no change in the job market getting better as the number of people recieving unemployment benefits is the same within a 1 month average.
Labor market are improving, but not improving like we thought or as fast as we want it to. almost 3 million people nationwide received unemployment benefits for their second week or more beginning October 1st 2013. Although there are 11 million people unemployed in the United States, more than 8 million people do not receive unemployment benefits. Last week the numbers went up for 1st time claims of umemployment benefits which broke the record for the biggest 1 week rise since Hurracane Sandy that had thousands of people to file for unemployment benefits.
The rise in unemployment benefits within the last week was mostly due to the government shutdown and other key factors. Within the last week 374,000 people filed for unemployment benefits for their 1st week which means 374,000 unemployers was new within 1 week. The week before that the numbers was at 308,000, 66,000 less than this current week. Unemployment claims was mostly due to layoffs. The job market will get worse before it gets better.
