We have it permanently ingrained in our minds and are constantly reminded of the importance of these three simple colors every day.  While being aware of what these colors indicate at such an early age, it would only make sense that we …

The screech of tires dispenses the smell of burnt rubber. The horn blares and leaves a ringing in your ears. And your heart pounds as you hope everyone involved is okay. Many of us have endured a car accident; whether it is on the fault of others or ourselves. From the moment of impact, we …
