The Citrin Safety Foundation calls these decisions D.A.N.G.E.R.S.:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>D<\/strong>istractions (texting, eating, applying make-up, pets, etc.)<br \/><strong>A<\/strong>lcohol\/drugs (driving impaired)<br \/><strong>N<\/strong>o seat belts (failing to buckle up)<br \/><strong>G<\/strong>roups (too many young passengers)<br \/><strong>E<\/strong>xhaustion (fatigue)<br \/><strong>R<\/strong>iding bumpers (tailgating)<br \/><strong>S<\/strong>peed (exceeding the speed limit or failing to slow down for weather or traffic)<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each of these D.A.N.G.E.R.S. represents a choice or decision on the part of the driver or passenger to ignore basic safety rules. \u00a0At the Citrin Safety Foundation, our motto is &#8220;Decisions are not accidents&#8221;. To prevent these deadly decisions, the National Safety Council developed a 4-hour program called, &#8220;Alive at 25&#8221;, which has been proven to be 90 percent effective in reducing teen traffic fatalities. Because Alabama ranks 3rd worst in the U.S. in traffic deaths, Mr. Citrin teaches the Alive at 25 program FREE of charge at local schools through the non-profit, Citrin Safety Foundation (CSF). A top-rated, board certified trial attorney with a 26 year track record of winning large verdicts and settlements for people injured through no fault of their own, Citrin has a passion for encouraging safe driving practices and holding individuals accountable for irresponsible driving decisions that harm innocent people.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you would like to make a tax-deductible donation to the Citrin Safety Foundation, or would like information about getting Mr. Citrin to teach the program at your school, call Executive Director Pam Winstead at 251-626-7766 or visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.citrinsafetyfoundation.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">www.CitrinSafetyFoundation.org<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you or a loved one have been injured in a car, truck, or motorcycle accident through no fault of your own, and you need passionate, proven, and professional trial lawyers on your side, call the Citrin Law Firm at251-621-3000 for a FREE consultation or complete the Free Case Review form on this page.<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Halloween is the<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":16622,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12312","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-wrongful-death"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 -
