One doesn’t always have to rely on a car to get from point A to point B. Sometimes, even walking can be an excellent alternative. It’s a great way to get some exercise and save on gas money. However, there’s always a greater risk of injuries, especially if you come across a driver who runs a red light, doesn’t yield when pedestrians or other drivers have the right of way, or practices careless driving practices, like texting while operating the car.
