Pro Golfer Tiger Woods' Car Accident a Reminder to San Diego Drivers Not to Drive Angry
The late Thanksgiving night car accident that injured Tiger Woods just outside his Windermere, FL home appears to have stemmed from a domestic argument with his wife, Elin Nordegren. While there is speculation as to the cause of the domestic argument, including rumors that Woods was having an affair, the facts show that Woods left the home during the argument, got behind the wheel of his 2009 Cadillac SUV, and shortly thereafter crashed into a fire hydrant and a tree leaving him unconscious.
Assuming that Woods lost control of the vehicle himself due to anger or simply not paying attention, the auto accident should serve as a reminder to all drivers, including motorists in San Diego, that getting behind the wheel when angry can be just as dangerous as doing so while drunk or on the telephone. When one drives while upset or under duress, their focus is not on the road and traffic conditions but on whatever made them furious in the first place. In these kind of situations, missing a turn or running a red light is significantly more likely.
For San Diegans and other California drivers, if you are tempted to drive shortly after or even during an argument, take a few moments to collect yourself before attempting to drive. Nobody wants your argument to turn into a more serious car crash.
