Crash Lane News

CrashLaneNews.com's vision is the development of comprehensive plans for travelers to be safe. Our readers can help themselves by using our travel advice when making their travel plans. There is a great deal of travel information available to the public right now. The trouble is not all travel agencies or travel books focus entirely on ways to be safe and secure. Many books and agencies tend to give a few pages of safety suggestions which are sometimes vague and most are hard to relate to or are seen to make a difference. A prediction is that most suggested plans mentioned by these travel agencies or travel books is for a traveler to call 911 in an emergency which is the right thing to do. The bad thing is there is not much detail on what else can be done or what preventative measures and steps can be taken. There are ways to prepare for the worst of what may later occur when it comes to taking a trip. One example emphasized is the threat of the weather. The reason is that it can create a disaster and disrupt a trip. A traveler should be vigilant of the weather and also of disasters in order to reroute a trip or cancel it. This book gives suggestions to readers about things to know. This can be applied into a reader's/traveler's checklist of information. That information will make their trip safer. It will also enable travelers to reach their destinations, increasing their accountability. In addition there is also some mentioned real life situations that occur when traveling. The suggestions on what happened in some situations is included in detail to include information about search and rescues, tornadoes, hurricanes, typhoons, blizzards, and more. The eyewitness accounts of weather disasters really help someone unfamiliar with the issues about the need to have some preparedness and information. The latest Wireless Emergency Alerts through the Smartphones are being described to help spread the news of severe weather as well as other information someone should know of to include other public emergency messages about disasters in the area and Amber Alerts. An interview with NASA's Rani Grann covers the article she wrote about the Future of Search and Rescue. The reality that people take trips unknowingly that they may become lost or in the worst case missing is a scary thing. This travel dilemma can be mitigated and managed in a preventable way. The power of the GOES satellite system to help coordinate search and rescues of vehicles, vessels, and personal beacons is described as well as how this technology is currently being upgraded to search and rescue more accurately. Interviews are included with The National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA.gov) and the National Weather Service (weather.gov) in the following states: Kansas, Massachusetts, Louisiana, Florida, Georgia, Alabama, North Carolina. The information is very scientific and comes from descriptions directly from Meteorologists in a one on one interview, or from weather forecasters. The interviews also contain information from these same office's websites. A interview is provided with the Auto Club's Northern California, Nevada, and Utah, Public Relations Officer Cynthia Harris, AAA.com. Cynthia was very helpful with a thorough understanding of the Auto Club enabling her to really go into some of the benefits and safety questions some travelers may have. AAA is one out of the many travel agencies that makes safety suggestions to the public right on their AAA.com website. The mentioned benefits to include discounts when traveling is an additional reason to have a membership with the Auto Club. An interview with the The National Insurance Crime Bureau, NICB.org's, Public Affairs Director Frank Scafidi covers that agencies objectives and has some helpful information a traveler can use. The NICB entered the spotlight during their help in investigating the first world trade center bombing attack in New York, NY. This organization also has vast amount of data and knowledge that is available to the public for free at their website. Information regarding auto thefts and insurance fraud within the United States is worth knowing about and also following. An interview with The Wireless Association-CTIA.org public relations office includes the progress and information about their new program that they helped make possible which helps people that lose or have their Smartphone stolen. The Wireless Association-CTIA also mentions many additional in depth suggestions that relate to the FCC's 10 Steps to Smartphone Security. The future of traveling is here with the use of more technologies. An interview with True Mileage's CEO Ryan Morrison, Truemileage.com is included showing an example of the use of Smartphone technologies improving drivers safety awareness. A report is also providing the driver with the benefit of lower insurance rates and discounts. True Mileage plans on providing their customers with driving tips on how to drive safer and how to driver at a lower cost and a great deal of their strategy and efforts are in mentioned in detail in the book. There is also a close study about the FMCSA.dot.gov and their rating system. The issue of traveling alongside Commercial Vehicles also known and tractor trailers resulted in more regulations and the current transparency rating system. Many have stated that the system is flawed. There some obvious inconsistencies mentioned about how there is a lack of due process and other violations of the law by the FMCSA as a result of them publicly stating what companies are good or not. The main point in mentioning this is that Commercial vehicles are on the road and the industry affects travel as well as the economy and when that is altered or changed everything can end up in a crash.
