Summer brings a number of factors to escalate the risk of being in an accident. According to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, the highest casualty factor for traffic accidents in 2012 was "improper driving" followed by "excessive speed." Accident can’t always be avoided, but taking some extra precautions such as buckling up and staying focused on the road can make the difference between a near miss, injury or even death.
