4. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA), just short of a million non-
traffic and non-crash incidents occur every year
We tend to focus on those more than other potential
car-related injuries. Some can be less serious, while
others may be more so and even life-threatening.

8. A few simple tips could keep you from
ending up in the hospital or worse
• Automotive jack or hoist - If
you’re unfamiliar with this type
of equipment, get someone to
show you how to operate it
before using it. Learning as you
go is not always a good idea.
With a flat tire, call the Auto
Club and let them handle it.

9. More Tips…
• Pedestrians and cyclists – When walking, jogging, or
cycling at night…wear reflective clothing and stay in the
safety zone.
• Don’t walk or jog close to traffic and check for oncoming
cars before crossing.
• Don’t assume they see you. Wait till they stop completely.
Cyclists should also wear reflective clothes and remain in
bike lanes or paths.
• In daytime, be aware of your surroundings and the risks
around you. Stay focused.

10. More Tips…
• Back-over accidents – These are often tragic, as young
children between the ages of 1 and 4 are typically the
victims because they’re too small to see in blind spots.
