The FDA, part 2

Posted on September 25, 2008
The Food and Drug Administration is responsible for a wide range of products, but the one people think of most often is prescription drugs. As I said in my earlier post, the FDA was originally created to protect the public from products that claimed to do something it didn't (like cure cancer, or whatnot)...

The FDA, part 1

Posted on September 24, 2008
With all the news about China's milk and recent litigation involving skin creams and eye washes that are having nasty side effects (and, of course, the BPA plastic scare) I began to wonder what responsibility the FDA has.I did not know this, but the FDA's primarily responsibility when it was created was to regulate labeling...

The Roundabout

Posted on September 22, 2008
I was in France the first time I saw a roundabout. It is a feature of the road and it is very cool. It is a circle instead of a four-way stop. It is very neat to watch and kind of scary to drive in. When you come to the roundabout there are cars already circling...

Collision Illustrates Dangers of Bikes & Big Rigs

Posted on September 19, 2008
Safety considerations come in all shapes and sizes, especially when using public highways. Take for instance two vehicles that frequent the roadways, bikes and big rigs.

A Sacramento Lawyer Publishes a Guide to Auto Accidents in California

Posted on September 19, 2008
I came across this article this morning and thought you should know about it. After being in an automobile accident you can't be expected to think clearly and do everything that you need to, that's why hiring an attorney early is a good idea. Attorneys know the law and they know what needs to be done, but at the same time, they are not the ones that have been damaged...

Citrus Heights Installed Traffic Cameras in Two Intersections where Fatal Collisions Occurred

Posted on September 18, 2008
This is how a city is supposed to respond to incidents like this. Let's face it, people do not always obey the law. It is nearly impossible to think that a government body could prevent collisions from occurring when the people do not act as responsible citizens...

Mothers Avoiding Plastic Bottles Have New Problem

Posted on September 16, 2008
If you bought your kids a metal water bottle from Potterybarn Kids, it may be apart of the newest recall from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. I know many parents have chosen to use metal containers instead of plastic, thanks to the BPA chemical scare and the newest Brita ads claiming your water bottle will spend 30 minutes with you on the treadmill and then 30 thousand years in a landfill...

The State could have Prevented the Incident by building a fence

Fatal Hit and Run in Fair Oaks

Never leave the scene if you are involved in an accident.California Vehicle Code section 20001, et seq. states quite clearly that if you are involved in a collision, YOU MUST STOP.

Accident on U.S. 50! Wow, what a week...

At first I was shocked. The motorcyclist spun out. He separated from his bike really quickly, then his bike skidded across three lanes of traffic while the rider rolled and rolled on the ground...

Everyone already knows, but it bears repeating: Big Rigs Are SCARY!
