DRV SAFE
As your trusted community news source, Fox 11 is concerned with the amount of fatalities happening on Northern Nevada's roads. We have partnered with the Zero Fatalities program to reduce the number of fatalities & accidents on Nevada's roadways.
The Road to Zero
Always Buckle UP
Wearing a seat belt is the single most effective means of saving lives and reducing injuries in crashes (NHTSA, 2008).
Don't Drive Impaired
Known as "one of the deadliest crimes in America," In 2010, more than 10,000 people died in alcohol-impaired driving crashes - one every 51 minutes, according to National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
Focus on the Road
Almost 800 vehicle occupants died in lane departure--or non-intersection--crashes between 2005 and 2009 in Nevada.
Stop on Red
Intersections are shared by a variety of users including pedestrians, bicyclists, motorcyclists, and vehicles, and a potential point of conflict.
Be Pedestrian Safe
In Nevada, 282 pedestrians lost their lives from 2004 through 2008 due to actions of drivers, pedestrians, or both.
