Authorities will be out in force looking for drunk drivers and other unsafe drivers in an effort to reduce the number of serious and fatal Massachusetts car accidents over the Fourth of July weekend.

Businessweek reports that AAA is anticipating a banner weekend of travel in New England. More than 1.7 million people are expected to be traveling in the six-state region through the Fourth of July weekend, an increase of more than 19 percent when compared to last year.

While New Year's Eve gets the majority of attention when it comes to holiday travel risks and drunk driving accidents, statistics show that Thanksgiving and Fourth of July have been the deadliest holidays on the nation's roads in recent years, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Nationwide, someone is killed in a drunk driving accident every 45 minutes. Alcohol-related Massachusetts car accidents accounted for more than 40 percent of all traffic fatalities in 2008, when 151 of the state's 363 road deaths involved alcohol.

Nine kids a day die in car accidents in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. And a recent report by the USA Today found that summer is the most dangerous time of the year for teenage car accidents.

As we reported earlier this year on our Boston Car Accident Lawyer Blog, parents need to remain proactive in warning their children about the dangers of being involved in a serious or fatal Massachusetts car accident.

Traffic accidents are the leading cause of death for young people ages 15 to 20, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Sixty-eight teens were killed in Massachusetts car accidents in 2008.

Summer is the most dangerous time of the year for teenage drivers. And the excitement surround summer holidays, including the upcoming Fourth of July weekend, can be particularly dangerous. Not surprisingly, authorities pin the increase in risk on less parental supervision, more night driving, more driving with friends and fewer curfew restrictions. Over the course of the year, Friday and Saturday nights from 10 p.m. to midnight are the most dangerous hours for teens on the road. But those statistics go out the window during the summer months.

"For many kids, every day in the summer is a weekend day," says Justin McNaull, state relations director for auto club AAA. "Driving with your buddies to find a party at 10 p.m. is very different from driving to school at 7 a.m. on a weekday. There's a very different environment both outside and inside the vehicle."

The National Safety Council is offering free downloads of its "Family Guide to Teen Driving Safety."

AAA provides the following tips and risk factors for teen drivers:

Risk Taking: Don't do something you'll regret for the rest of your life. Accidents don't just affect you, they affect passengers, other drivers, pedestrians, bicyclists, children and families.

Unbuckled Belts: Wear your seat belt and make sure that all passengers are buckled up.

Speeding: Obey the speed limit. One-third of teen fatalities involve speeding.

Rowdy Passengers: Adding a passenger increases a young driver's chances of an accident by about 50 percent. With two or more passengers, the risk of an accident increases fivefold.

Cellphones: Focus on the road. Don't use a cell phone or text message while driving. Teens are at the highest risk for an accident as a result of text messaging or talking on the phone.

CD Players: Adjusting the radio is the most common distraction for drivers ages 16 to 20.

Nighttime Driving: Teen drivers are twice as likely to get into an accident from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. than they are during the day.

Drinking and Driving: One-sixth of 16- and 17-year-olds killed in crashes were legally intoxicated.

Peer Pressure: Consider the risk factors before getting into a car with another driver. Never ride in a car with a driver you don't trust or with a driver that has been drinking. Never ride in an unsafe vehicle or in a vehicle with more passengers than can safely be accommodated.

Overconfidence: Inexperience and overconfidence frequently lead to crashes when new drivers encounter unexpected or unfamiliar situations.

State officials are doing a poor job of reducing the dangers of Massachusetts car accidents caused by distracted driving, the Boston Globe reported.

The Governor's Highway Safety Association reports that 28 states have enacted bans on text messaging while driving. Georgia and Vermont enacted such laws just this month. Meanwhile, lawmakers in the Massachusetts House and Senate have passed different versions and continue to squabble over the details.

"A lot of it is common sense that people need to practice on their own," said State Sen. Steven Baddour, who expressed optimism that lawmakers would pass legislation and send it to the governor before the session ends on July 31.

Seat belt use and not driving drunk are common sense, too.

"We're really where we were with drunk driving 25 years ago," said Jonathan Adkins, spokesman for the association. "You have to have a comprehensive system of approaches to address highway safety problems."

Massachusetts also lags behind other states in the use of public education and law enforcement efforts aimed at reducing distracted driving, according to the report.

Other common forms of distracted driving includes talking to passengers, dressing, applying makeup, grooming, eating, smoking, reading or using in-car electronics like stereos and GPS devices.

Massachusetts does not record distracted driving as a cause of accidents, as 43 other states do. And it does not ask about the issue in driver exams. Nor does it enlist employers in the effort to reduce the dangers distracted drivers pose on the road.

"Massachusetts has not really focused on this issue in terms of their policy or their practice compared to other states," said Jeff Larson, who heads a Massachusetts nonprofit that promotes safe driving. "I don't think it has thus far been taken seriously by the state."

While the overall number of traffic fatalities has declined, from 42,836 in 2004 to 37,261 in 2008, the number of people killed in distracted driving accidents has increased, from 4,978 in 2004 to 5,870 in 2008.

The investigation into the April Boston car accident involving an MBTA trolley and members of the Boston College championship hockey team has largely cleared the students of wrongdoing. New information has left the transportation authority answering some tough questions. This case perfectly illustrates why an attorney should always be called to handle an injury case, regardless of what investigators determine at the scene or what parties claim in the immediate aftermath of an accident.

It now appears that these kids did very little wrong in an incident that colored the school's championship performance and led to national media scrutiny.

As we reported on our Boston Personal Injury Attorney Blog, the SUV full of Boston College students collided with the Green Line trolley on a Saturday night in April in an accident that Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority officials were quick to blame on the students.

Three of the passengers were members of the Boston College hockey team, which had just won the National Championship. Police reported finding Vodka in the Jeep and an MBTA official said three passengers took themselves to the hospital after fleeing the scene. The circumstances turned a relatively minor incident into national news covered by the USA Today, the New York Times and ESPN.

However, the Boston Globe now reports that the MBTA suspended the trolley driver for two weeks in May after the agency's investigation determined he was driving 35 mph at the time of the crash -- well over the 10 mph speed limit in that area. Then, in a closed hearing last week, the most serious charges against the Jeep's driver were dismissed after toxicology results showed she had not been drinking.

On the heals of that news, the MBTA suspended the driver indefinitely this week and are pursuing perjury charges against him for testimony he gave in a hearing about the crash. The 34-year-old driver testified he had a clean driving record, despite having recorded multiple moving violations in both Massachusetts and Florida.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is launching a Safe Summer Driving campaign aimed at reducing the number of serious and fatal accidents on the nation's roads during the summer driving season.

Our Boston injury lawyers encourage families to open a dialogue about the dangers of poor driving decisions, including speeding, drunk driving, distracted driving and other behavior that can lead to a serious or fatal Massachusetts car accident.

Distracted Driving: As we continue to report, distracted driving is one of the leading causes of serious and fatal traffic accidents nationwide. The government estimates that 6,000 people are killed and more than 500,000 are seriously injured each year in driving accidents caused by distracted drivers. Drivers who text message or use cell phones while behind the wheel are at particularly high risk. Other forms of driver distraction include eating, grooming or applying makeup, talking to passengers or using in-car electronics like Mp3 players and GPS devices.

Vehicle Maintenance: Many of us limit our winter driving to commuting to and from work or school. But the summer brings with it the chance to get out on the road. The increased travel brings with it an increased risk of an accident caused by a poorly maintained vehicle. Be sure to have your car serviced and pay particular attention to your tires. Hot summer roads can be extremely hard on old or worn tires.

NHTSA Safety Tips for Summer

-Never leave a child unattended in or near a vehicle. Warm weather can quickly raise the temperature inside a vehicle to lethal levels. Pay particular attention to where children are at when moving or backing a vehicle.

-Use appropriate safety seats and child restraints. For more information, visit www.safecar.gov.

-Always wear your seat belt.

-Don't drink and drive.

-Avoid fatigue and stress by getting plenty of rest and ensuring that you leave in plenty of time to safely reach your destination.

-Have your vehicle serviced and pay particular attention to tire wear and fluid levels.

Two motorists have been charged in the wake of an alleged Massachusetts drunk driving accident that claimed the life of a state trooper.

The accident occurred early Friday on I-95 in Mansfield, the Sun-Chronicle reported. The trooper was blocking an exit ramp as crews established a construction site when he stopped a motorist for attempting the get around his cruiser. Another vehicle slammed into them, fatally injuring the trooper and dragging him across all three lanes of travel.

The 43-year-old Walpole man who was driving the first vehicle allegedly tested .20 upon a blood-alcohol examination, well over twice the legal limit of .08 in Massachusetts. The man reportedly works in the probation department of Boston Municipal Court, where part of his job is assisting with the electronic monitoring of drunk driving offenders.

The other driver, a 45-year-old Hyde Park man, was expected to be freed on $10,000 bail after pleading not guilty to a number of charges, including motor vehicle homicide and drunk driving. His defense attorney said the defendant tested .07, below the legal limit for drunk driving.

As we reported recently on our Boston Personal Injury Attorney Blog, a 34-year-old woman is also facing vehicular homicide charges after a Massachusetts car accident at a road construction site claimed the life of a man working on Route 3 in Chelmsford in December.

Emergency responders and construction workers are often injured in Massachusetts road construction accidents. Accidents at construction sites are also a leading cause of Massachusetts workers' compensation claims.

Two people were seriously injured in a Boston car accident on I-495 Friday night, the Enterprise News reported.

The single-car accident occurred Friday morning near the Middelboro-Raynham line. A 29-year-old man was listed in critical condition and a 24-year-old woman was in serious condition late Friday after the 2003 Toyota Rav4 the woman was driving rolled and came to rest against a guardrail. Both victims were ejected from the vehicle. The crash happened about 8:40 a.m. on I-495 south, just south of the exit to Route 24.

The Enterprise News later reported that the man died as a result of his injuries. The driver has been upgraded to fair condition.

Police say she lost control of the vehicle near the weigh station in an area where the road narrows from three lanes to two. The right lane of the road was closed for three hours while police investigated.

The Taunton Daily Gazette reported that both victims were flown to Boston Medical Center.

Speeding joins drunk driving and distracted driving as the leading causes of serious and fatal traffic accidents nationwide, according to the National Safety Council.

Boston Injury Attorney Jeffrey S. Glassman and our entire staff encourage you to review safe driving habits with your family as the summer travel season gets underway. Our Safe Driving Series previously examined the dangers of drunk driving, aggressive driving and distracted driving.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that speeding was a cause of one-third of all fatal traffic accidents in 2008, leading to the death of 11,674 motorists. When combined with the 1 in 3 motorists who are killed in drunk driving accidents, those statistics mean that two-thirds of all traffic fatalities in the United States involve either speeding or an intoxicated driver.

A study conducted in 2000 found that speed-related crashes cost an estimated $40.4 billion. That's $76,865 per minute -- or $1,281 per second.

Speeding reduces a driver's ability to steer safely or avoid objects in the road, increases the distance a vehicle requires to come to a stop, and shortens the amount of time a driver has to react to a dangerous condition.

In 2008, speed was a factor in 97 of 363 fatal Massachusetts traffic accidents.

The Massachusetts Department of Transportation wants you to take safe driving seriously. To put your risk in perspective:

What are the Odds?

Being attacked by a bear: 1 in 36 million.
Being attacked by a shark: 1 in 11.5 million.
Dying of a bee sting: 1 in 5.33 million.
Dying in a tornado: 1 in 5 million.
Being struck by lightning: 1 in 240,000.
Being bit by a poisonous snake: 1 in 37,250.

Being killed in a car accident: 1 in 84.

Do yourself and other motorists on the road a favor this summer and slow down. Being late is always better than being in an accident.

The National Safety Council has released one of the most comprehensive reports to date on the dangers of cell phone use by drivers. Distracted driving continues to be one of the leading causes of Massachusetts car accidents.

As we reported on our Boston Car Accident Lawyer Blog, the federal government estimates that 6,000 people a year are killed and more than 500,000 are injured in distracted driving accidents.

Distractions now join alcohol and speeding as the leading factors in serious car accidents. Among the reports findings:

Distracted Driving: 28 percent of all crashes in 2008 were attributed to cell phone use, causing 1.6 million crashes and 645,000 injuries. Drivers using a cell phone are four times more likely to be involved in a crash.

Cell Phone Use:11 percent of drivers are using a cell phone at any given time. 81 percent of drivers admit to using a cell phone while behind the wheel.

Text Messaging: 18 percent of drivers admit to text messaging while driving. The rate is highest among teen drivers (36 percent) and Gen Y drivers (39 percent).

Hands Free Devices: Offer no safety benefit.

"Cell phone use while driving has become a serious public health threat," said Janet Froetscher, NSC president and CEO. "Several states and municipalities have passed legislation allowing hands-free devices while driving. These laws give the false impression that hands-free phones are a safe alternative, when the evidence is clear they are not. Understanding the distraction of the brain will help people make the right decision and put down their cell phones while driving."

Two adults and a toddler were injured Saturday in a Cambridge car accident when an elderly man crashed into a bus shelter, the Boston Herald reported.

Police report that the man hit the accelerator instead of the brake, and crashed his car through the glass-walled bus shelter on Mount Auburn Street. The man was not injured and Cambridge police said he will not face charges. He had been trying to park his Toyota Camry in a handicapped space near Shaw's Grocery Store at the time of the crash. He rapidly accelerated, careened over a curb, and crashed into the back of the bus shelter.

The walls of the shelter shattered, cutting three people standing inside. A 28-year-old woman and her 4-year-old son were taken to Massachusetts General Hospital. A 29-year-old man was also taken to an area hospital for treatment of his injuries.

Older adults are at increased risk for being involved in a Massachusetts car accident. Older drivers also make up the fastest growing segment of the driving population. There were 31 million drivers over the age of 65 in 2007 -- a 19 percent increase over the last 10 years. Total licensed drivers only increased by 13 percent during the same time period.

In Massachusetts, a total of 53 older drivers were killed in car accidents in 2008, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Fifteen of those drivers were over the age of 85.

The American Automobile Association operates a website geared toward older drivers and their families.

Most of us have been annoyed from time to time while behind the wheel. And many of us have been subjected to an irate motorist who tailgates, swerves, jambs on his brakes, or makes unsolicited hand gestures or verbal suggestions about how we should occupy our time.

This is the fourth post in our Safe Driving Series as we take a look at road rage and aggressive driving. Boston Injury Attorney Jeffrey S. Glassman and our staff encourage you to take a look at your own driving behavior while behind the wheel -- studies continue to suggest that most motorists believe aggressive driving is a problem ... they just don't think they are among the violators.

Road rage and aggressive driving continues to be a factor in a significant number of serious and fatal Boston car accidents, as well as traffic accidents in Massachusetts and nationwide. One of the leading studies of aggressive driving was conducted by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety and begins by detailing a case of Massachusetts road rage in which a 54-year-old bookkeeper shot a motorist with a crossbow.

While that is an extreme example, thousands of serious and fatal accidents are caused each year by aggressive driving. In fact, aggressive driving and road rage are not the same. Aggressive driving is the type of inconsiderate driving most of us experience on a weekly basis, while road rage is a criminal offense marked by violence or assault.

In 2009, AAA reported that more than half of all accidents can be linked to some form of aggressive driving. Aggressive driving frequently involves disobeying traffic control devices, tailgating, speeding, erratic or unsafe passing, driving on the shoulder and failure to yield.

"Aggressive driving and its consequences are all too common on our roadways. It's easy to think 'that other guy is the problem'" said Catherine L. Rossi, a AAA spokeswoman. "But anyone can become an aggressive driver just by one single action."

And when it comes to aggressive driving, motorists tend to think in terms of the other guy. A 2008 report by AAA found that nearly 8 in 10 people think aggressive driving is a serious safety issue, even though many of those same motorists admitted to one or more of the driving behaviors that constitute aggressive driving.

Signs you may be an aggressive driver:

-You express frustration behind the wheel.
-You drive distracted.
-You tailgate or attempt to intimidate motorists into getting out of your way.
-You make frequent lane changes, with or without signaling.
-You frequently try to beat red lights or outright run them.
-You speed.

Reducing stress behind the wheel:

-Concentrate: Avoid distractions while behind the wheel.
-Relax: Listen to music or take a deep breath.
-Don't Speed: Fewer crashes occur when drivers are traveling the same speed.
-Plan an alternate route: Take a different route, mix up your commute.
-Use public transportation: A bus, subway, train or taxi may even be quicker.
-Just be late: Being late is always better than being in an accident.

When confronted by an aggressive driver:

-Get out of the way: Don't match aggression with aggression.
-Put your pride aside: Don't challenge an aggressive driver or try to hold your own lane.
-Avoid eye contact: Making eye contact can actually enrage an aggressive driver.
-Ignore gestures: And refuse to return them.
-Report aggressive drivers: Pull over to a safe location and notify law enforcement.

Upwards of half of all fatal Massachusetts car accidents are caused by drunk drivers, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Someone dies in a drunk driving accident in the United States every 45 minutes.

Of course there are habitual offenders on our roads; people who have no regard for their own safety, let alone the safety of innocent motorists. But many drunk driving accidents involve regular folks, who simply misjudged their ability to drive or who were embarrassed to take a cab or ask for a ride. Tragically, teenagers are also at increased risk for being involved in a fatal car accident involving alcohol. Boston Injury Lawyer Jeffrey S. Glassman and our entire staff encourage you to stay safe this summer, use a designated driver, and talk to your teenagers about the dangers of drunk driving.

This is the third installment of our Safe Driving Series and we hope you will return to our Boston Car Accident Lawyer Blog to check for updates.

In 2008, 151 of 363 fatal Massachusetts car accidents involved a driver who had alcohol in his system -- or 42 percent of all fatal crashes. In 124 of those cases, a driver was legally drunk. Of those, 81 drivers tested over .15, or twice the legal limit of .08 for drunk driving in Massachusetts. Those figures put Massachusetts among the Top 10 states nationwide. Only Hawaii, Louisiana, Montana, North Dakota, Rhode Island, Texas, Virginia, Wyoming and Washington had a greater percentage of alcohol involvement in fatal traffic accidents.

Nationwide, one-third of all fatal traffic accidents involved a drunk driver, claiming 11,773 lives in 2008.

Facts about drunk driving:

-Someone is killed in a drunk driving accident every 45 minutes.

-Accident rates are four-times higher at night than during the day.

-Drunk driving accidents are twice as likely to occur on the weekend.

-Drivers ages 21 to 24 were most likely to be involved in a fatal drunk driving accident.

Distracted driving has reached epidemic proportions in the United States and is a leading cause of Boston car accidents and traffic accidents through the State of Massachusetts.

Boston Injury Lawyer Jeffrey S. Glassman and our entire staff encourage you to speak with your family -- especially teenage drivers -- about the importance of safe driving as we enter the summer vacation season. We begin our Safe Driving Series by looking at the dangers of distracted driving.

Nationwide an estimated 6,000 people are killed by distracted driving each year and more than 500,000 are injured. To put those numbers into perspective, someone is seriously injured in a distracted driving car accident every minute of every day.

The federal government is so concerned about the dangers of distracted driving (especially the dangers of text messaging) that it has established a federal website to act as a clearinghouse of information -- Distraction.gov.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has also developed sample legislation for use by states seeking to outlaw text messaging.

"Texting while driving, like talking on cell phones while driving, is an extremely dangerous and life-threatening practice," said Secretary Ray LaHood. "This language, which we created with a variety of safety organizations, is another powerful tool in our arsenal to help the states combat this serious threat."

Texting while driving is of primary concern because it most often involves young drivers -- who are already at high risk for a car accident -- and because it involves all three forms of driver distraction: Visual, manual and cognitive.

Other forms of distracted driving include:

-Eating and drinking
-Talking to passengers
-Dressing, grooming or applying makeup
-Reading or looking at maps
-Using on-board electronics, such as a CD player or navigation system
-Watching video

Distracted Driving Facts:

-Using a cell phone while driving reduces the amount of brain activity focused on the road by 37 percent.

-Drivers under 20 have the highest proportion of distracted driving fatalities.

-Drivers who use a hand-held device are four-times more likely to be seriously injured in an accident.

-Using a cell phone while driving -- whether hand-held or hands-free -- reduces a driver's reactions as much as driving with a blood-alcohol level of .08, the legal limit for drunk driving in Massachusetts.

A Fisher College campus police officer rescued a woman from an overturned Toyota SUV following a Boston car accident, the Herald reported.

The woman was trapped in the overturned vehicle in the Back Bay when the 63-year-old college police sergeant lowered himself through the passenger door to provide comfort and aid. The two-car accident happened at the intersection of Claredon Street and Commonwealth Avenue about 7:15 a.m. Thursday. The officer had just gone off duty after working the overnight shift when he ran to assist the victims of the crash.

The officer was able to start the car, which assisted firefighters with prying open a sunroof to free the woman. The woman and another victim were taken to Brigham and Women's Hospital for treatment.

Sport Utility Vehicles are at high risk for rolling over in the event of an accident, which can lead to crushed roofs and serious and fatal injuries to motorists. A Boston injury lawyer should be consulted when an SUV is involved in a rollover accident in Massachusetts.

PBS reports more than 70,000 SUV rollover accident occur each year. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that rollover accidents have a higher fatality rate than any other type of crash.

More than 10,000 people a year are killed in rollover crashes, accounting for one-third of all traffic fatalities.

A Massachusetts car accident is being blamed on street racing after at least seven people were seriously injured on Route 18, South Coast Today reported.

A woman was trapped in her Volkswagen Jetta on Route 18 near the Purchase Street ramp after she was slammed into by one of two racing vehicles. The New Bedford car accident was caused by a race between a Honda Accord and a Honda Civic, according to authorities. Two toddlers were seated in the back of the Honda Accord.

One of the children was flown to Massachusetts General Hospital while the other child was flown to Hasbro Children's Hospital in Providence.

The racing cars were being driven by two teenagers, ages 17 and 18. An 18-year-old female passenger of one of the speeding cars was ejected from the vehicle and was listed in fair condition at Rhode Island Hospital in Providence.

The accident was so severe that the engine of one of the vehicles was ejected from the car. The wreckage forced the closure of southbound Route 18 for several hours. Both drivers are being cited with numerous traffic violations, including speeding, marked lane violations and racing.

In addition to the Volkswagen, a fourth car was damaged when it was struck by flying debris.

The Boston Herald reported that at least seven people were injured, six of them seriously.

As we reported earlier this spring on our Boston Car Accident Lawyer Blog, teens are at increased risk of being involved in a serious or fatal car accident through the summer months.

Fatal traffic accidents are the leading cause of death for teenagers ages 15 to 20, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Please take a moment and talk to your teen about the dangers and help ensure a safe and enjoyable summer for you and your family.
