We have often focused on the need to avoid distractions while driving – and especially the dangers presented by your cellular phone while driving. Many accidents have been caused by drivers talking on cellular phones and texting sms messages!
Your cellular phone may however be a very important tool once you have been in an accident! Not only will it allow you to contact emergency response assistance, family or friends – it will also allow you to record important evidence.
Most mobile phones nowadays have cameras with which you are able to take photos of good quality. Never forget this feature and take a few photos of the accident scene after the accident. This would help you when completing the accident report form in remembering the flow of the traffic, positioning of vehicles and even with the identification of parties to the accident.
But which photos should I take?
The Arrive Alive website has approached well – known forensic accident reconstructionist, Stan Bezuidenhout and asked him to provide information on the topic “The perfect 36 Photographs of any accident”.
This has been made available on the Arrive Alive website under the title:
“The perfect 36 Photographs of any accident”
We have also made this available in a shortened format on the Arrive Alive mobile website. If your loved ones call you to inform you that they have just been in an accident – tell them to view the information available on Arrive Alive.mobi.
This will assist them to remain calm at the accident scene whilst knowing that help is at hand!!

Road safety first. This should be the priority of all the drivers to avoid accidents. I have found best gadgets to keep you safe in terms of road safety. First is No Nap . If you are feeling drowsy but needed to keep yourself on the road and just want to make it to your destination as soon as possible without causing a major accident. And you have tried all the un-effective strategies to keep you awake just like drinking 10 cups of coffee, blasting some punk music, or drinking some old stuff like energy drink this is the best gadget for you. The No Nap is a small, easy to use, device that will keep you and others safe during a long, drowsy drive. All you need to do is turn the device on, adjust the wake up angle switch, and place it behind your ear. Then when your head slumps forward as you begin to doze off behind the wheel, the No Nap produces a loud, powerful beeping noise that will snap you out of your snooze. It runs on low battery consumption, and its ergonomic design fits comfortably behind your ear. This gadget has been popular with truckers who spend long hours on the road and it could be useful for keeping many others safe on the highway as well. So why take a risk in driving you might not just save your life but start caring for others too.
