Driving Safe

Hello class,

I became paranoid about safety since my accident and I only wish you the best with the adventure.  Please, be careful.

I found this article on bicycle accidents in the city of New York.  I don't want to scare or discourage anyone, just drive safe and be extra attentive, you might be doing the right thing but someone else can do the wrong one.

Welcome to the CCNY Sustainable Transportation class blog.  If you've never used blogger before I suggest you try logging in and doing an experiment post.  Maybe post a relevant article.... you can always delete.

Search Google for "Blogger Tutorial 2012" to find videos on how to use the different features.

Now to get it rolling, here's the recent Daily News article discussed in class:

And here's an interesting counter-article:
